Portfolio > Unburdenings

Through a series of four weekly open rehearsals, José Santiago Pérez will share the making of a new performative work Unburdenings as part of Repository and Repertoire, a duo exhibition featuring new works by HATCH Residents Jazmine Harris and Pérez and curated by Stephanie Koch at Chicago Artists Coalition. This program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.

Alongside Kim Chayeb, Zachary Nichol, and Kia Shariq, Pérez will build a range of movements and gestures which both ask and seek to answer: How do we bear emotional, mental, and social burdens? Where do we store those burdens in the body? In what ways do we share the weight of burdens through our relations?
