Bryan Giuseppi Rodriguez Cambana

Dancing with my Future, Supported by Lendlease & Empathy+Risk

**We’re very sorry to announce that unfortunately we have had to cancel this event due to Covid-19 related reasons, we really hope to be back in September 2022**

In this work, Giuseppi collaborates with ‘La Manzana Mayor/La Manzana Tropical’ to conceive a theatrical rendering, reflective of the orchestra’s songs’, their content, context and emotional landscapes.

The work joins a history of exploring ideas of afro-indigenous futurism and fictioning. Within his practice, Giuseppi explores the history of Salsa music and Latin culture in London, tracing the history of these cultural spaces and identifying how partying (and these spaces) can be politicized through the performance of Black/indigenous migration.

Attendees are requested to wear an item of baby blue clothing to the party.

Dancing with my Future is supported by Arts Council England and Lendlease.

With thanks to Empathy+Risk.
