Politieke gebaren en burgeracties staan centraal in de artistieke praktijk van Tania Bruguera, die onlangs haar kandidatuur voor het presidentschap van haar thuisland Cuba bekendmaakte. In deze video kaart Bruguera enkele van de doorlopende thema’s en problemen van hedendaagse maatschappelijk-geëngageerde kunstenaars aan.

Hierbij behandelt ze enkele van haar meest recente werken, zoals Immigrant Movement International (2010–doorlopend), ontwikkeld in samenwerking met het Queens Museum in New York en het Arendt Institute of Artivism in Havana. Haar werken worden gepresenteerd als voorbeelden en casestudies van nieuwe praktijken waarbij de kunstenaar wordt betrokken in nieuwe relaties tot instituties en de maatschappij.

In all continents, people have built matriarchal cosmologies sustained by complex rituals. In the advent of main modern religions and after centuries of colonizing invasions, the goddesses of antiquity were suppressed by the patriarchal structures that consolidated our era. However, they found ways to speak to us in the language of patterns, melodies, and poems. This workshop uses the voice as a method to reveal the presence of goddesses.
