Dancing with my Future by Bryan Giuseppi Rodriguez Cambana

1 Borthwick St

**In keeping with current Covid Guidelines, door staff will ask that you provide proof of a negative covid test via your NHS app** In this work, Giuseppi collaborates with &#x27;La Manzana Mayor/La Manzana Tropical&#x27; to conceive a theatrical rendering, reflective of the orchestra&#x27;s songs&#x27;, their content, context and emotional landscapes. The work joins a history of exploring ideas of afro-indigenous futurism and fictioning. Within his practice, Giuseppi explores the history of Salsa music and Latin culture in London, tracing the history of these cultural spaces and identifying how partying (and these spaces) can be politicised through the performance of Black/indigenous migration. Attendees are requested to wear an item of baby blue clothing to the party. ---Bryan Giuseppi Rodriguez Cambana is a Peruvian multidisciplinary practitioner employing the kinaesthetic properties of Afro-diasporic genres of music, from Hip-Hop to Salsa, in relation to memory, language, movement, desire, colour, race and poverty. Giuseppi has exhibited widely in galleries, museums and festivals including The Queens Museum in New York, The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, ENCUENTRO in Mexico City, and The International Festival of The New Latin American Cinema in Havana. He was a recent recipient of the Chelsea Arts Club Trust / MA Materials and Research Award and More Art’s Public Art Grant; and is a current student of MFA Fine Arts at Goldsmiths, University of London.--About: Manzana y Sabor MayorAn exciting new orchestra playing all the Latin vibez; such as Salsa, Cumbia, Merengue, Bachata, etc. implementing some soulful grooves with a brass and percussion section, vocalist and of course the bass/piano.
