In the fourth and final episode of Incantations, artists Mercedes Azpilicueta, Maria Sideri and Angeliki Tzortzakaki discuss their project priestesses of disgrace, which interrogates through sound the way female voices are perceived in public spaces in a syncretic city like Athens. We also discuss the perception of women’s bodies as simultaneously sinful and healing across different cultural contexts, and how ritualistic possession can be used to resist oppressive hierarchical structures. Our guests also share their own personal rituals for creating moods and attune to the cities they live in.

Take me to your favourite place

Take me to your Favourite Place is an audio publication that departs from my residency in the Villa Empain in Bruxelles between November and December 2018 and culminates in the occasion of Festival Signal#7 in August 2018. With the support of CIFAS, this publication marks my passage from the city of Bruxelles through various encounters, a workshop and interviews. Through subjective geography, this object suggests to think around how people passing by or living in Bruxelles experience topographical restrictions today.

Laboratory for the body as a material and as a living archive (in progress)

In this workshop we will look at how the body is used in performance and the ways with which the body can become a medium of documentation, a living archive that remembers and activates sounds, histories and images that can only survive when transmitted onto other bodies. Using oral tradition and specially its relationship with music, this workshop will provide methodological tools for body based practices that relate to body memory and the way the body memorizes. The body as memory, as an archive that registers emotions and events is the base from which we will be working using exercises of concentration, of movement as well as walks in the village and the surrounding area in order to activate biographies, memories and events of the village of Agios Laurentios, its music and histories of its people. More specifically, the methods offered derive from various contemporary dance practices and performance to ethnography and field work. During the workshop we will collect different material which will be specified during the workshop in order to create with the contributions of the participants a living archive combining the history of the village, its music along with personal narratives and input. The workshop is open to all, no previous experience needed in any of the above fields. The workshop welcomes musicians, actors, dancers and anthropologists and anyone else who is working or interested in the creative fields. The final outcome of the workshop will be an open presentation to the public.

PRÉSENTATIONMorte au Caire en 1953, dans le dénuement le plus total, Valentine de Saint-Point a longtemps été reléguée dans l’ombre de l’histoire de l’art. Cette expérimentatrice hors du commun – qui fréquenta Rodin, Mucha, Marinetti et Canudo, écrivit coup sur coup le Manifeste de la Femme futuriste (1912) et le Manifeste Futuriste de la luxure (1913), révolutionna la chorégraphie en fondant une nouvelle danse sous le nom de Métachorie, se passionna pour la théosophie, puis finit par s’établir en Égypte et se rapprocher de l’Islam, tout en embrassant la cause anticolonialiste – avait littéralement disparu des mémoires.
