Join us on Saturday, August 29th 6 - 9 pm for the opening reception of Bodies, Memory, Ritual, the newest installation from Performance in Flux. Curated by Tere Garcia, Bodies, Memory, Ritual brings together four video works that explore the body as a site of identity, memory, culture, and transformation. Across the exhibition, performance becomes a language through which artists investigate how experience is held and expressed through the body. Movement, gesture, repetition, costume, and ritualized actions become ways of inhabiting different histories, identities, and states of being. The body can appear as a performer or an archive through which personal and collective experiences are made visible. The works also consider how contemporary technologies can extend these embodied practices. AI, 3D scanning, and digital imaging introduce new ways of recording, directing, or transforming bodily presence. In other works, transformation happens through physical performance, symbolic imagery, and the body itself. Bringing together different cultural and personal perspectives, the exhibition moves between inherited practices and contemporary forms, asking how bodies carry what has been passed down, what has been disrupted, and what is still becoming. Together, the works propose the body not as something fixed, but as a place of continual negotiation between memory and presence, tradition and change, human experience and technological possibility.
