Arrurrú, surviving to change skin, by Carolina Marin /Kescena, is a performative wearable device, designed to be and inhabit, whose main characteristic is to contain and provide security. The space generated by inhabiting the Arrurrú calls for a self-regeneration, a reprogramming, in a serene, warm and loving way. It evokes a disappearance in the midst of the chaos and speed of current life, while causing camouflage around the shapes of the natural spaces that embrace us, generating an extension and relationship of sympoiesis

Between the Landings, by Vanessa Goodman/Action at a Distance is a sonic and physical study of liminal spaces. It questions what happens when we spend time between pitch lines, thread depths, and rise heights. It is a work performed in two stairwells, in two countries, by two artists simultaneously.

the gap, by tidbit collective Three daydreamers dramatize their experiences as queer women and consumers of pop culture as a means to relive and indulge in the reality of loss; they grieve everything from their subway crush getting off the train to the loss of the storybook family life they were conditioned to want as kids. the gap is a collage of dance, sound, and other mediums that investigates the experience of loss (but in a cool, fun way).
