Climatic Dances
Endangered Human Movements Vol.5
Artist: Amanda Piña
Country: Austria / Chile / Mexico
Type: Dance/ Performance
Year of Creation: 2020
Climatic Dances is the fifth volume of Amanda Piña’s long term project Endangered Human Movements, dedicated to dances and cultural practices that have already vanished or are threatened with extinction. The project consists in various volumes of research, which include performances, publications, curatorial frames, workshops and lectures.
In Climatic Dances, Amanda Piña explores the way the notions of earth have transformed through time and through different historical genealogies and ontologies. In this work, the biographical landscape of the artist, a particular mountain in the central Andes in Chile, which is today being destroyed by Neo-extractive forces, becomes a place from where to share grief and fury, to mourn and stand up.
