Writing as Sowing, Reading as Eating
Installation & Food Gathering by Juliana Steiner
Tuesday, October 17, 2023
Bard Farm
5:00 pm – 8:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
CHRA Fellow Juliana Steiner presents an immersive sound installation at the Bard Farm, followed by a dinner and conversation. 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
The sound installation Entre la danza y el Mambeo was created with members of the Ruak+ Jafaik+ and Kanasto de Abundancia collectives, based in the north-east Amazon of Colombia. The sounds are offerings to the land and function as natural fertilizers.
Juliana will share findings from a forthcoming book that grew out of Ecotone, her curatorial project created in Colombia as part of Common Ground, a festival on the politics of land and food, initiated by the Fisher Center at Bard, and supported by CHRA.
The meal, Envolviendo la Memoria, prepared by chef Stephanie Bonnin, is based on recipes from the book, re-interpreted in the context of the Hudson Valley landscape.
The event is co-presented by the Bard Farm. Please meet at the Farm at 5pm.
Juliana Steiner is an independent curator and researcher from Bogotá interested in interdisciplinary practices in contemporary art that incorporate social sciences, pedagogy, architecture and long-term projects with communities. Her research focuses on more-than-human species, environmental justice and the transformations of landscapes. She is the co-founder and artistic director of La Reserva Guatoc, a multidisciplinary residency in Barichara that seeks to create critical thinking through experimental forms in a cross-territorial dialogue between Latin America and the Caribbean. She also co-founded Espacio Odeón, a contemporary arts center housed in an abandoned landmark movie theater in Bogotá’s city center. Juliana has taught at the Universidad de Los Andes and is currently a Fellow at the Center for Human Rights and the Arts at Bard College.
