Listening Session: Pedro Neves Marques
Pedro Neves Marques’ literary and moving image work ranges from fictional dramas to essays and exploratory video and documentary reporting that addresses clashes among competing anthropologies and images of nature, technology, and gender. Responding to Brazil’s increasing rise of conservative political forces, the artist uses film, poetry, and science fiction as a tool to examine the history of colonisation as well as the possibility of non-Western futures.
Join us for a poetry reading and a listening session based on a composition by London-based musician HAUT. The selected poems are part of an upcoming book Neves Marques is currently working on, titled Sex as Care and Other Viral Poems. The session will be followed by a conversation with the artist.
This event is part of the series The Violence of Abstraction that brings together artistic practices dealing with colonial legacies and its interrelated ecological-climatic dynamics.
Pedro Neves Marques will be exhibiting at Gasworks, 11 Apr–16 Jun.
Free. Booking recommended.
This event is wheelchair accessible and disability friendly.
