HOT AIR – 7a*11d 2024

HOT AIR was born out of the need to denounce the violence and extractivism practiced by carbon credit companies in Indigenous lands in South America and also to raise funds for the survival of the human and non-human Indigenous bodies that inhabit these regions.

Presented at 7a*11d International Performance Art Festival 2024 as both a performance by artist Juma Pariri and screening of the film Pe ataju jumali/Hot Air (Ar quente), HOT AIR engaged the audience in a redress ritual in which toxic transgressions and transgressors were planted with seeds and as a result can only sprout new life and vitality that feeds the soil and all of earths beings.

Pe ataju jumali/Hot Air (Ar quente) sowers (film collaborators) include Margarita Weweli-Lukana, Juma Pariri, Frê Arvora, Gurcius Gewdner, Amaya Torres, Jules Zinn, Juan Camilo Herrera Casilimas and Juliana Pongutá Forero.

Co-presented by 7a*11d and Hemispheric Encounters.
