Bel Falleiros: We are one only heart, one only earth, one only soul

Activation of  Hélio Oiticica’s Subterranean Tropicália Projects: PN15 1971/2022 We are one only heart, one only earth, one only soul featuring Bel Falleiros August 14 | 12 – 2 pm Performance & Clay Workshop Free, Drop-in Closing day of Subterranean Tropicália Projects: PN15 1971/2022 in conjunction with  Koyoltzintli “Ofrendas” Sculpture Workshop August 14, 2022 When the whole world asks us collectively to stop, it’s an invitation. To listen, to make space for silence, to remind what us sits in the dark, in the hollow. Can we hold the night in our hands? Can we hold the hole, the well, from where life begins and ends (and begins and ends, and begins…)? Can we return inward and pulse with this life, and remember we are part of its wholeness? Can we – individually and collectively – recall how? Only if we start trying. “We are one only heart, one only earth, one only soul’’ is powerful medicine shared by Davi Kopenawa, a brazilian Yanomami Shaman* that inspired Falleiros’ listening practice over the past two years. For the activation of Helio Oiticica’s piece at Socrates, Falleiros will expand this listening invitation to the public of Socrates Sculpture Park: together we will touch the clay and open space and time to be with one another, to be still, to be ‘one only heart.’ *The Yanomami people are currently at the forefront fighting illegal gold mining (among other violations), in the Amazon Forest, illegal activity supported by Brazil’s current ‘government’. Twenty years ago Davi Kopenawa Yanomami founded Hutukara Association to bring awareness to their people and the violence they face.  https://www.facebook.com/yanomamihutukara
