WHAT'S CURRENTLY ON?
To profane the Body,
To profane Matter,
To profane Time,
To profane History.
Drawing a constellar, heterogenous territory comprised of artworks, objects and materialities of diverse nature and provenance, Profanações acknowledges desecration as a speculative gesture that opens up new horizons for world-making. Inspired by Giorgio Agamben’s Profanazioni, from which it borrows the title, Profanações contradicts the ideal of progress that rules Western societies, and glimpses alternative cosmologies where human, organic and synthetic are mutually imagined.

~ Analysis and experimentation with the voice's hidden sonorities;
~ Analysis and improvisation based on songs with vocal experimentation;
~ Collective improvisations;
DAY 2

~ Experimenting with the voice;

Open studio with Kasra Jalilipour, artist in residence in Pedreira warehouse in the Inresidence program. Kasra (b.1995, Esfahan) is an Iranian multidisciplinary artist, writer and educator, currently based in the UK. Through humour, provocation and storytelling, their practice uses the body as the subject to discuss race, gender identity and sexuality. They often use methods of speculative fiction to retell historical stories through a queer lens. Kasra works in a variety of mediums including moving image, installation, text, drawing and performance. They have an ongoing body of research which looks for fragments of queerness hidden in Iran’s Qajar era, specifically stories that centre intimacy, eroticism and gender nonconformity.
