“Respiro y luego existo” per La Niña Jacarandá

Respiro, luego existo (I breathe, therefore I am) is an immersive session in which the sound/musical selection seeks to build atmospheres that encourage meditative listening, with the aim of entering into direct contact with the state of one's own body. The voice of the artist will be incorporated into the session, which will mark the "scores" of the breathing cycles of those who participate.

As a title, Respiro, luego existo,  rejects the division and binarism between corporeality and rational thought, championed mainly by western philosophy, where corporeality is usually linked to "the feminine" (body, emotionality, subjectivity) and that being the opposite of the masculine (rational mind, objectivity, universal and empirical truth), it is usually read as less valid at the level of political, material and symbolic enunciation.

By Isamit Morales aka La Niña Jacarandá

Isamit Morales (1982) aka La Niña Jacarandá is a Chilean-Venezuelan visual artist, whose transdisciplinary practice operates in a multiform way, proposing: the dj set as a performative space, artistic medium, space of enunciation and narrative articulation that crosses the political and aesthetic dimension; the pedagogical space as a form of activism; the curatorship of parties that foster communities of djs and artists from dissidence (women, non-binaries, trans girls, migrants). 

Like Dj, his sound proposal, broad and non-linear, traverses the spectra that blur between ambient, reggaeton and deconstructed club, considering its intersection with the political dimension.
