This telematic performance is a continuation of Ximena Alarcón's work Suelo Fértil in May 2016, an immersive experience exchanging dreams and sounds derived from migration and fertility metaphors. This new performance brings together 5 women in England, France and Mexico in a live online improvisation with Radio Centro de Cultura Digital.
Suelo Fértil originated as a performance project commissioned by Arte en Tránsito UNESCO, Mexico, May 2016. Now, Suelo Fértil continues as a remote creative sound collective of migrant women.
The performance will be live streamed on Radio Centro de Cultura Digital (CCD Radio), August 17, 4pm (Mexico time) 10pm (London time)
