OUTsider is excited to be partnering with to present a performative screening of the short film “Versos de porquería” / “Verses of Filth” by Naomi Rincón Galllardo. Naomi is a Mexican visual artist whose work is deeply rooted in q***r, feminist and decolonial methods and draws from pre-colonial epistemes.
In “Verses of Filth,” a bastardized Cihuateteo has become a scavenger/seeker digging up wasteland residues: body fragments and cultural debris. Along with a band of vultures, the scavanger recruits a brigade of arms that have been detached from their bodies and underworld creatures seeking touch, pleasure and revolt. In a Mesoamerican episteme, vultures connect the earth with the underworld by sticking their heads into dead bodies. These scavenger birds eat waste, decay and corpses and are considered purifying agents. The arms that rise from the grave insist on raising their decapitated fist in protest. Still, they also insist on seeking bonds of proximity with other arms, caressing, repairing, documenting, snapping, signing, and reading words that give an account of their existence.
Enrique Arriaga and Venese Medovich Alcantar will join Naomi for this special event at Fusebox to enhance the spoken word performance and projection by bringing electronic music and dance to the live performance.
Two opportunities to catch it at Fusebox Festival!
