TRQPITECA MANA Professional Miami Residency 2018

TRQPITECA is simultaneously a cultural platform, a curatorial project, and an immersive performative installation. As organizers and artists, one of our biggest challenges is that often, the focus leans either to the side of organizing, or the side of creating original artwork, depending on the project. For the past year, the majority of our time and energy has been spent more on the organizing and production side, and less focused on creating our artwork. That is why we would like to take this opportunity to focus on creating a performance that incorporates original music, movement, visual art, and installation. Our performance will be inspired by Miami’s natural and cultural environment, in conversation with Chicago’s queer, house, and techno aesthetics, and will be performed during the residency and at our festival, ICUQTS, in Chicgao. Although most of our time would be spent creating the music, installation, and wearable art for our performance, which will be livestreamed and recorded through audio and film, we would still produce an event in collaboration with Miami-based artists.
