Brown Atlantis Radio feat. Manuela Moscoso
Episode Date: 15 January 2021
Guest: Manuela Moscoso
Listen to EpisodeIn this episode we follow Manuela’s Geo-Metre Theory, tracing the different spirits that inhabit the plains of the Amazones, the Caribe and the elevation of Los Andes, and the ways in which salsa and cumbia morph at these different elevations. Lung power, oxygen levels, the interpellation of the heart and gut. Dancing drunk and walking through flowers.
Manuela Moscoso (Ecuador/Colombia) is a curator, researcher and critical producer devising and delivering internationally exhibitions, public programs and publications, independently or for organizations in Europe and Latin America, for example as Senior Curator at Museo Tamayo (Mexico City) or co-director of CAPACETE (Rio de Janeiro); and currently as curator at the 2021 Liverpool Biennial (UK). Collaboration is fundamental to her professional practice, as Moscoso believes production only happens through a relation with others. As a curator of practices rather than objects, she continuously looks for different approaches to researching, creating, thinking, producing and disseminating work and ideas. Moscoso sees a deep connection between art and education practices, and she is strongly committed diversifying the art sector by ensuring wider representation on every aspect of its practices and advocating for non-Western systems of thought and intellectualities.
