Hold/Release

Hold/Release
Performance. (2014)

Hold/Release was originally created for TODO BAJO CONTROL: MAY DAY, a performance extravaganza curated by Anabel Vázquez Rodríguez to commemorate International Workers’ Day through the exploration of art as a “labour of love” (“por amor al arte”) and the reframing of cultural production as a site of labour, struggle, wages and organization.

The piece embodies my relationship to two mothers: the woman who gave birth to me, and the woman who adopted me and raised me; to their labors; to mother countries: Colombia and The United States; to the bonds of debt that link me to each. In Hold/Release I ask, to what do we owe our making? and what do owe our makers?
