Belo Jardim Residence — Camila Sposati
09/21/2021 — 11/30/2021
Belo Jardim,
Pernambuco
The Bodies of Phonosophy project was produced between September and November 2021 by the artist Camila Sposati, in collaboration with a group of 15 residents of the city of Belo Jardim. For this project, musical instruments were imagined and produced by the group in the course of weekly group meetings with Sposati and the ballerina Amália Lima, who prepared the participants physically for the project.
Based on the Legislative Theater of Augusto Boal (1996), Bodies of Phonosophy aims to connect the personal body to the social. The focus is on exploring the relation between the pieces created by way of the subject-bodies that create them. This enables investigation of their potential as mediators between different subjectivities and the world. The works produced as part of this project can be accessed by the general public in the form of a digital exhibition put together in collaboration with the artist Rudá Cabral.
Sposati’s Residency also involves a series of public meetings, broadcast via YouTube, featuring invited guests from a range of fields discussing various aspects of the project. The Public Program is designed for those seeking more in-depth knowledge of some of the main issues arising in the course of this Residency.
The project also includes an Education Program, put together by curators Cristiana Tejo and Kiki Mazzucchelli. This program adopts the format of a minicourse providing an Introduction to Contemporary Art, divided into four modules, and is open to the general public free of charge.
