UNBOUND: A Performance Ritual
Advertisement
UNBOUND is a performance ritual and community-powered project that works with dance, storytelling, poetry and communal gatherings to uplift the lives, legacies and stories of the artists' Native ancestors who were captured and enslaved during the Spanish colonial period in New Mexico. These ancestors were taken from many different tribes & communities, including Apache, Diné, Kiowa, Ute, Comanche, Pawnee, Hopi and Pueblo. They were given various identifiers: criada, cautiva, coyote, genízaro.
Director Sarah Hogland-Gurulé and collaborating artists Lupita Salazar and Gabriel Carrion-Gonzales are descendants of enslaved indigenous people and have created UNBOUND as a loving offering to their ancestors. They worked intimately with historical research, family stories, platicas with other descendants, generational memory and embodied research to create a visceral and informative experience about a history that is often left out of a contemporary understanding of New Mexico.
There will be a 45 min post-show reception after each performance.
