A Cuerpo Sur Foundation initiative
As a Foundation we want to promote Latin American live arts, with a strong emphasis on the epistemologies of the south of the world, we are interested in promoting instances where hegemonic knowledge is questioned and the space is opened to experimentation, disciplinary and territorial crossings.
This 2024 summer, we wanted to create an exhibition window for the artists of the AVANZADA SUR 2023 Program, as well as the works and projects of artists who collaborate with Fundación Cuerpo Sur.

Chilwe 2024
Hominidæ is a research project that consists of the territorial study of a specific city, from the collection of soundscapes and auditory testimonial records, based on the question: what is your struggle?
The intention is to observe the main transformative agents of the territory, since the research is focused on the capture of the present to generate an archival material as preservation of the territorial memory. Research is shared in two formats: Immersive audible installation in the territory and a cartography in web format.

¿DÓNDE SE FERMENTA LA CHICHA?
Bachelor of Arts, Pediatrician and Master of Visual Arts. Iquiqueña, pilgrim of the Fiesta de la Tirana. Her work ranges from material concerns to questions that point to the knots of his affective territories, crossed by her Aymara origin. She seeks to highlight the geographical contradiction of the northern Chilean region, its history drawn from multiculturalism and the construction of an identity and image, through the high contrast with the rest of the territory.
Jaguar in bloom
“I seek to dive into the use of a visual that refers to my territory of origin, the Northern Great of Chile – and at the same time – to refer to the connection that ancestors and their neighbors have had: how did they understand interspecies and world relationships?
·To do this, I wanted to explore the healing qualities of plants, starting with Bach’s flowers, mixed with stories and own memory about the use of power plants. This is like with a braid and the hair presented elements that could be a connector between worlds, and in turn, gather some of the knowledge of the journey. The body as a vehicle for encounter with other beings in a cooperative dialogue.”

Actress, bachelor’s degree in performing arts. Diploma in theater teaching. She works creating pieces for the stage, in performance as well as teaching, with an emphasis on singing. Its creative processes are associated with practical research in artistic groups in the Valparaíso Region.
Expedición 180
Meet an elephant in the dark. Practical-theoretical research in process that is born from the desire to walk through the Chiloé archipelago, from north to south (200k) in 18 days, as if it were a “to Lo Vasquez” pilgrimage, to find the lost work.
This absurd walk holds an exercise in gathering nature sounds and stories: voices of the elderly enter into everyday conversation with two unknowns pilgrimizing in this underwater mountain range in a encounter with the body’s own memory: “Have you ever walked a lot?”
Medial and audible perfo-installation in the -failed - attempt to transmit Expedition 180, stressing the concepts of survival, myth and experience.

Luzé - Hair and scarring
Artista transdisciplinar. Luzé cooks his creations in the translinguishing water inside the self-extinguishing fire pit. His voyages and inventions cross borders as he walks in the company of anti-colonial chanting. In addition to film courses, he has training in Theatre and Performing Arts.
From the first moment Luzé saw the photograph on the cover of the book "Pearl and Scars", he felt he had another great reference from Pedro Lemebel to boost his desire to perform on body hair. However, during his first stay in Chiloé, this desire was fueled by something else: the pelillo (a type of seaweed). Now, the artist also researches this Pacific algae, from its extraction in Chile to its consumption in Japan.
In addition to experimenting with its materiality, Luzé is developing an essay on the autophagic relationship with body hair.

This is an experience that focuses on magical and unique places, revealing an emotional topography, a relationship with the city that is always different for everyone, but we inevitably find ourselves in. In Reminiscencia, a unique and unique seal of research is installed, as a bet on a new genre, we encounter a very sensitive, political and intimate biographical documentary essay.

Colectivo Cómo se recuerda un Crímen (?):
Cómo se recuerda un crimen (?) is a transdisciplinary group made up of five Chilean creators, who carry out research and artistic creation projects on topics such as memory, territory and history since 2019. The five members of the collective cross the disciplines of performing arts, architecture, sound art and design; to inform historical crime investigations and contemporary review.
They have performed three site-specific projects: “Villa San Luis” within the framework of the Accompaniment Program of Teatro Niño Proletario, “UNCTAD III” in co-production with the Gabriela Mistral Cultural Center and “Rio Mapocho” funded by the Ministry of Arts, Cultures and Heritage. They have a digital experience carried out under the Blue Fund of the University of Chile called “Barial Memory Experience”. They have participated in museum displays such as “50 years later: A strike to memory” of Museo Histórico Nacional, “Huellas: proyecciones de la memoria” in the Architecture Faculty of Universidad de Chile, “La violencia en el espacio” at Centro Cultural Matta in Buenos Aires Argentina.
Cómo se recuerda un crímen (?):
Río Mapocho
How many crimes has the Mapocho River witnessed? How many crimes has it suffered?
This site-specific is an invitation to meet with the river that crosses the city of Santiago with the objective of recognizing its history and its relevance to the city. We are here because there is a river and before us there were other cities here, some from collaboration, other from the omission of the previous ones. However, the river determined that the Mapocho Valley was a meeting point between cultures, for settling, homes, of what is sacred, of violence, a territory in dispute. The piece reviews the prehispanic past, colonization, the modern city, dictatorship, the recent past and present, focusing on the Mapocho River and the changes around it.
The experience is a walk along the banks of the Mapocho River that requires: a cell phone, headphones, and the Izzi Travel App (free) to listen to the audio tours that will guide the work, and attendees will be given a fanzine that is part of this collective expertise.
