Please join us for Cantando Bajito: Convening in Chorus on Thursday, October 10th, from 9am – 5pm. 

As a part of the opening week of Cantando Bajito: Chorus, the final movement of our three-part exhibition series considering strategies for resistance to gender-based violence, we invite all to gather for a day of celebration and reflection on the series and its themes. Over its arc, the series has reflected on Testimonies, the forms that bearing witness can take, and Incantations, the channels that transmit protective knowledge. Chorus, the series’ culminating exhibition, considers the importance of collective making, organizing, and care arising from interdependence in shared struggles. 

In the spirit of the community building for a world where we can all flourish, the convening will gather the series’ artists, curators, practitioners, thought leaders, and the general public in dialogue on the series’ conceptual threads and insights it has generated into creative and collective strategies for resisting gender-based violence—and the vital role art plays in these strategies. The day will feature special talks, performances, and other interventions by the show’s artists, collectives, and archives.

The day will weave together a broad range of approaches to collective resistance, in many mediums and modes—from presentations by affective networks and prominent thinkers, to performances, interactive experiences, and reflections offered by transnational artists, leading practitioners, the curators, curatorial advisors, and more.
