Transverse Waves Symposium

A series of presentations exploring the industrialization of water in the context of rising temperatures and meteorological crises. The evening will feature a keynote by interdisciplinary scholar and curator Lisa Blackmore; a dialogue between Natalia Lassalle-Morillo and Xenia Rubinos reflecting on artistic collaboration, solidarity, and engagement with migrant communities in New York from Puerto Rico; and a sound-based performance by Leonel Vásquez and Esmeralda Ramírez. 

Transverse Waves, is a series of events in conjunction with our current exhibition Humid Traces, curated by Federico Pérez Villoro. The public program will continue to explore how waterways are forced to perform as borders. Considering the ripple effects on water surfaces when one throws a stone onto a lake, the program is organized around the affective circles that surround the artists included in the exhibition. It is a space to consider how artistic research can actively fortify networks of solidarity and strengthen ongoing dialogues and collaborations.
