Exorcism = Liberation is a public art project that investigates our relationship to land, self-determination, migration, and climate disaster. Through collective citywide experiences in New York City, Chicago, and the Connecticut River Valley of Western Massachusetts, we invite the American public to imagine alternative futures through the lens of Puerto Rican culture and the U.S.' ongoing colonial history.

Current Season

S H I N E is a performance and installation using sound, video, voice, movement and audience participation to explore space as a living entity, and the delicate machinery of intentional, communal action. The work addresses the unseen mechanisms of care, the thin boundaries between call and response, and the importance of the immaterial within living systems.
Martita Abril continues her introspective work of reflecting on border life. A sense of the familiar yet distorted, always shifting and yet recognisable, the work takes on the dualities of being raised in a land divided.
