Can we nourish ourselves by eating our roots as beetroot? Can we bake our passports into cakes, sharing them at a single table instead of standing in lines that tear us apart? Can we see invisible bodies suspended in air, tracing the soil—feeling their presence, breathing, and asking neither when nor where they are born? Can motherland mean that a mother is a land? And if we speak in our mother tongues, isn’t the language of all of us simply mother tongue?
The exhibition is rooted in autobiographical biopolitics

Collage de fragmentos que inspiraron mis andanzas en Sudáfrica, parte del proceso y probaditas del audio usado en esta bella instalación para la exhibición y residencia artística "De ( ) composing Between Extraction and Regeneration"

**Liminal Retrieval: Nest of possibilities.**

Conception: Gisela Pérez
Soul and meaning: Taps and Isack’s energy and will; Tammy’s hands composting Hout Bay; sweetness in the @Loveinabowlcommunity ; Hannah and Humza sparkling at the farm. Avin’s shelter and service to braid community. Mickey Dredd; Isaac Mutant’s music; Naphtali’s planting. @wordsworthsaying_ soulful, gentle gaze bringing warmth; Ricardo’s smile and reggae Thursdays. @isa_parker_michaels flow; @tauriq.jenkins breath. The sacred land.

We are the people of the soil, the memories flowing and ready to connect through ocean, the love in a bowl of regenerative processes to flourish together, the prayers becoming blessings. We are the displaced stones that will become a rising mountain.

How do we retrieve what we have been? In neuroscience, retrieval is the journey memory takes to return to the surface of consciousness. In this installation, that process becomes a liminal space, an irrigated nest from the in-between, holding intentions from around the world and being irrigated drop by drop: a shelter woven with threads of time, acts of prayer, rituals of act and sound sicking to transform, traces, territory, and affections.
Through a multisensory experience that intertwines the regenerative systems of water, soil, and community, our intentional presence through acts of will becoming the catalyst for interconnection with the Divine. “Liminal Retrieval: Nest of possibilities” invites us to rethink our relationships by regarding, recognizing and embodied sacred journeys; it is a bridge to the invisible, the feeling that lingers in memory.

As we move to the creation phase, the learnings that we are taking from this journey continue to shape the questions we carry into our artistic practice.

Here are some glimpses from our classroom time with Dr. David Anderson Hooker, alongside faculty Dr. Avi Sooful and Dr. Ernst Wagner, exploring the power of narrative. How stories shape societies, how art can question or reframe them, and how creative practice can become a space for transformation.

Through conversations, the study of artworks from around the world, and collective reflection, we also returned to the places, histories, and encounters experienced through our field visits.

The field visits, carefully curated by ART AFRICA, have been an integral part of connecting our learning to place and context. More glimpses and reflections from these encounters will follow in our upcoming posts.

Now, we carry these insights from reflection into creation.

Neste Dia Internacional da Juventude, celebrado em 12 de agosto, destacamos todos os jovens que sonham, criam e lideram.

Com o tema “Diferentes contextos, aspirações em comum”, a data convida à reflexão sobre a potência das juventudes como agentes de transformação.

Artista visual, cineasta e pesquisadora brasileira, cofundadora do Coletivo Webs e Jovem Líder do “Juventude pela Paz: Programa de Liderança Intercultural da UNESCO”, Isadora Canela acredita que ser jovem é um convite ao estado de construção: “O que se forma, o que se cria, um convite coletivo e compartilhado.”

Com uma trajetória que conecta arte, cultura e educação, Isadora desenvolve pesquisas e projetos que aproximam diferentes saberes e perspectivas, criando espaços para o diálogo, a imaginação e a prática coletiva de novos caminhos.

Neste 12 de agosto, conheça a mensagem de Isadora para as intergerações.

Lost notes of week one:

Birds shifted my rational thread. To make the paper or to make the story or…? Oppressive structures are uncreative. And the gap, the path. Why didn’t you? The land remembers, y o rio también de su curso. Enkosi. Erosion. How is my uhul level today? Hay que desfrutar, esto no se pregunta. They didn’t discovered us, we discovered them in our land. Notions of property. Time and its textures. Celebrating creativity is not, won’t be, romanticising poverty. Ephemerality as statement of integrity. Army is needed needed to protect weak foundations. Rhythms, spaces, gestures, languages, microfones and the embodied intention of co-composing. Permission to rehearse.
Amazon not Amazon: and marchs, repetition.
The problem is the problem. No money will buy our land. Removal of the teeth as a mining movement, to avoid the click of the language, danger of beauty in meaning. Colonialists call this land observatory. Decay. Narratives of linear time gives permission to believe that we moved on.
O som das ondas. Simbiosis. Challenge, choice, outcome. Entanglement. Trigger. Test. How? The names behind the spectacles. Practice permission. Make your bed, take out the trash. Não engajamento é rompimento? Descomponha-se em presença. The commitment is with creation. Lessons are no longer true. Paradoxical curiosity. Hierarchy gives permission to violence. What it’s the time of current? And what is the texture of wonder? That’s absolutely not what I said. Reality? Not everything requires intervention. Mimicry. Sowing words. Time as events not causal. Símbolo vivo ou símbolo sínico? Not, when, my responsibility? Laim and industrialised views. In which time water dance? How, if at all, shall we redraw our desire’s map? When and where do I feel ready? Camp. Opacity of alignment, gesture, message, time, again. Of the non premise of understanding. Layered. When a movement becomes a laugh. For today, is enough, and this is rebellious - spring is rebellious. What if?

We are 26 layers of the new new futures territory. In movable positionalities, between team, faculty and artists participants the collective is formed and started its entropic experiment under the vast, yet so delicate liminal space of de()composition: between extraction and regeneration.

Standing on the threshold where we witness worlds, systems and territories collapse, we invite uncertainty and its transformative powers to be embraced and weaved as part of the process of both discovering and composing paths, as we move.

Going from the grounds of narrative transformation, towards the roles of artistic practices and historical/contemporary contexts, the virtual presence slowly gives space to be decomposed into full senses memories to come. 🕸️

OPEN CALL NEW FUTURES
South Africa 2026

(De)composition, Extraction and Regeneration

Notions of change happen individually and collectively. In a world where personal challenges are echoed in others, these become sites for social justice. How could we shift from the singular my to ours? Our life, our planet, our existence? How to return to the earth?

In the context of multi-dimensional and interconnected global crises (environmental, economic, social, political), this residency aims to collectively speculate and practice strategies in order to create movements which are plural and creative, considering that there’s no life without a whole ecosystem of collaboration and codependency.

The call invites artists between 21-35 years old, experienced with artistic creation in the context of social justice issues and committed to collaborative work.

Where?
The Residency Program will occur online, and in person in the Western Cape Province, South Africa.

When?
June - July (online)
August - September (In-person)

Application Deadline
10 May 2026

das diversas situações a se criar num museu-palacete do século XIX, algumas delas:

uma pilha de temperos milimetricamente posicionados; vestir bermudas curtas para atravessar os ambientes sem climatização; usar o corpo de mesa, já que as mesas são históricas; dançar carimbó; se cobrir inteiramente de lama, deixar um rastro dela; ensacar-se e descer a escadaria que figuras históricas já desceram também, mas sem ver nada, morfar e vagar no espaço enquanto uma caixinha de som toca solta em seu invólucro artificial; apagar todas as luzes e dispositivos ao sair, voltar amanhã e observar com cuidado se qualquer coisa se movimentou nas galerias, se sim, deixar ir.
