Savvy meets Paranorma

In the organizer's words:

Andean Diaspora Dialogues: Music, Identity, and Resistance

The entrance is free.

A collaboration between SAVVY Contemporary and Ballhaus Prinzenallee: neighbors things.

Framed within the PARANORMA series and the project CURES: Chronic Promises.

This chapter of SAVVY meets PARANORMA explores Andean heritage through art and its connection to cultural identity in the context of the diaspora. It also reflects themes of cultural resilience and solidarity promoted by the Centro Intercultural Peruano Todas las Sangres, highlighting the importance of honoring indigenous roots and confronting global injustices.

Juliette Robles
is an artist of Andean Peruvian descent born in Barcelona who moves towards the reencounter with her roots through music as a healing channel for the pain of rejecting her origin. In this small recital Juliette will share Andean themes with her own clay instruments made by her, her Andean box and her own sound experimentation to honor the indigenous resilience.

Huacos Self-Portraits Workshop
The "Huacos Autorretrato" workshop analyzes through clay about phenotypes outside of Western beauty standards, which were imposed as a result of the European anthropological expeditions of the 19th century. In this way, it addresses the stigmatization of racialized faces and bodies as the origin of racism.

In the Andean cosmovision, the creation of these sacred vessels represents the alchemy of the natural elements and their connection with the "uku pacha" (world of the dead), storing the "chicha", the sacred drink that will accompany them on this transitory and cyclical journey.

Todas las Sangres
The Centro Intercultural Peruano Todas las Sangres is an initiative of the Peruvian diaspora in Berlin, created as a space for cultural resistance and solidarity in the face of the challenges of migration and global injustices. Inspired by the legacy of José María Arguedas, the center promotes the defense of Peruvian cultures and its diaspora, solidarity with social struggles in Peru and Abya Yala, and the search for alternatives to the capitalist system. It advocates for the rule of law that protects human rights, rejects neocolonialism, gender violence and discrimination, and promotes Peruvian arts and literature as a means of identity and resistance.
