Title: Choreographies of the impossible

In this artwork Ayllu collective proposes a collaborative investigation around love. Beyond the political, anthropocentric, and individualizing debates about love, they weave a portal of escape from everyday life, saturated by the capitalistic codification of relationships and the brutality of civilizing choreopolitics. If the colonial wound that permeates and constitutes current geopolitical systems is widened and deepened through interpersonal relationships, turning intimacy into more of an access to violence than a tool for community strengthening, it is collective practice that makes the exercise of a non-conciliatory love possible. Thus, artists and collaborators evoke modes of existence that precede the subjectified (and racialized, and gendered) body, aiming at the resumption of a sensibility that does not distinguish body and surroundings, a way of being and feeling that is, at the same time, before and after the invention/theft of the body by colonial technologies.
