Deslices

A collaborative enactment that migrated between voices, bodies and geographies, Deslices accompanied artists Catalina Barroso-Luque and Daniella Valz Gen through a series of correspondences between Mexico City, London and Glasgow.

Deslices occupied the spaces created when bodies are lost in translation. Together, the artists offered shared reflections, forms of cross-cultural kinship and moments of misunderstanding in order to examine multiple notions of gender and the exchanges that shape these relationships.

Listen to Catalina Barroso-Luque and Daniella Valz Gen discuss the forced evolution of their joint project Deslices during the Covid crisis. Occupying the spaces ‘where bodies are lost in translation’, they explore how language has influenced the work and the similarities and differences between their respective Latin American and South American identities.
