Kalunga Entities

REGISTER

For this special edition of Art Connects, we have partnered with the Or Gallery to bring you a video performance by Luanda Carneiro Jacoel, who is currently featured in the exhibition Gives-on-and-with: Decolonial Moves of the Transcultural, curated by Noor Bhangu at the Or Gallery.

Kalunga Entities is part of a series of performances that trace the meanings of the word Kalunga: the water archive; the earth archive; systems of communication; places of transition; and states of becoming. A body in transit, that carries with it entities, traveling through temporalities, evoking archives and playing with the unknown. A collaboration between Luanda Carneiro Jacoel and visual artist/musician Azul Filho de Luiz, Kalunga Entities explores bodily movement and visual elements to create install-actions in spaces.

This Art Connects will begin with a brief introduction by Denise Ryner, Director of Or Gallery, and Melissa Karmen Lee, Director of Education at the Vancouver Art Gallery. The performance will be followed by a conversation with curator Noor Bhangu.
