Unbecoming Nationalisms: A Queer Labour of Unproduction

Unbecoming invites participants to deconstruct—seam-by-seam, thread-by-thread—a 5 x 8 foot US flag. Part mourning ritual, part meditation on the warp and weft nationalisms’ fabric, Unbecoming explores the queerly productive potential of unbecoming as a vehicle for embodied, and sustained critical engagement.

CONSTELACIONES

CONSTELACIONES is shifting; fluid and multiple. They are stardust. They share the same sky. They speak through borders with gesture, with languages of time, memory, and connection. They practice the art of magic, of care. Artists M. Martínez, R. Crowe, D. Difarnecio, C. Hajjar and H. Vosters form CONSTELACIONES, born of exile, configurations of light.

Echoes: North… North

CONSTELACIONES performs a rite of return continuing a journey that began with Martinez’s family’s exile in 1974. Moving from frozen Lake Winnipeg through the landscape of the Atacama Desert to Calama, the collective lays down vibrant forms in a ritual of remembrance. In Santiago, they create performative tableaux reflecting on their journey.
