3 actions in locations with direct ties to the botanical protagonists of the Columbian Exchange in the port city of Málaga, Spain.
The movement- an uprooting- took cues from syncretic ritual and popular dances in the Caribbean -from Bomba y Plena to Salsa to Reggaeton. [and its continued consumption throughout the globalized world.]
This video installation is accompanied by an experimental score foregrounding the ebb and flow of music from Spain to the Caribbean and back via the flow of human bodies, both free and enslaved.
