Dance, electronics and soft sculpture: Fernanda Muñoz-Newsome curates two special evenings as part of our popular Wild Card series, a format inviting a new generation of artists to curate their own night. Interested in shifts of perspectives, Muñoz-Newsome’s practice crafts queer spaces promoting exploration and agency.
Muñoz-Newsome’s evening is an invitation to interact with INCHOATE BUZZ, a new immersive work. Created with visual artist India Harvey and sound artist Josh Anio Grigg, it offers an environment to explore, inviting us into a sensory journey in a relaxed set of soft objects, projections and suspended sculpture. Intimacy, proximity and distance are all at play.
For this version of INCHOATE BUZZ, several guest artists perform their own works within its welcoming environment: dance artists Last Yearz Interesting Negro (Jamila Johnson-Small), Rukeya, Eve Stainton, and musicians Kiera Coward Deyell (Black Obsidian Sound System) and Isabel Muñoz-Newsome (Pumarosa).
