la_cápsula

The program of la_cápsula includes exhibitions and one day events such as talks, performances, project presentations and concerts.

la_cápsula is an independent and experimental curatorial project that seeks to create a dialogue between the artistic and cultural production of Latin America and Swiss/local artists. By promoting a dialogue between artists and cultural producers from Switzerland and Latin America, la_cápsula has opened a space in Zürich in which topics that affect both geographic territories, such as environmenta

l issues, feminism, geopolitics, gender issues and decolonialism, are addressed in a wider sense and discussed within the context of Switzerland and its local population. la_cápsula seeks to present critical and interesting art made by emerging artists, and uses critical thinking and humor as strategies for the curatorial process.

VERNISSAGE
PROTOCOL FOR DOMESTIC WATERS
13th September, 6pm

The Mapuche artist Neyen Pailamilla approaches water as part of an interconnected web where human and more-than-human lives meet. The Sihl carries memories and agencies. Their performances, installations, and films are not about the river, but with the river — and with the concrete, the steel, the stones, the plastic. They reclaim the bastardies produced by urban development, absorbing them through gestures of touch, of shared breath, of listening to what flows beneath the surface.

We all inhabit fractured landscapes. The task is not to return to an imagined purity but to learn how to dwell creatively in impurity and multiplicity. Since arriving in Switzerland, Pailamilla has sought ways to bond with these new territories. Their encounters with the Sihl have given rise to a Protocol for Domestic Waters — a loose set of acts and moments that acknowledge all the living beings flowing from the Alps to the city through the Sihl, and intermittently reaching back to mapu anew.

Join us at la_cápsula!

Workshop: Río Circular
By Alessandro Valerio Zamora

With crayons made from microorganisms from the mountains and firewood from the Magdalena River, we will delve into the representations and fluvial imaginaries that inhabit us. Those circular rivers that we move daily, between amniotic fluids, metabolic waters and our daily relationship with water.

The drawing workshop will be a means of immersion between our interior (circular river) and our exterior (the bodies of water we inhabit), blurring the apparent limits between us and the environment. In this experience we will explore with somatic and graphic exercises the ecological relationships between the soil of a forest and its possibilities for the bioremediation of water (internal and external).
