CONTRA-TIEMPO is returning to Jacob’s Pillow for a creative residency! We will continue to develop our newest work, ¡azúcar!. Led by the vision of Ana Maria Alvarez alongside twenty artists and collaborators from across the country, ¡azúcar! brings to life the vibrations of Cuban musician Celia Cruz, and embodies personal narratives about sugar, Afro-Latin ancestral technologies, dance, music, and healing as a community practice. The development of ¡azúcar! is driven by questions of unearthing the history embedded in the artists’ bodies to courageously name, confront, and intentionally obliterate the often unspoken undercurrent of anti-Blackness in Latinidad. In CONTRA-TIEMPO’s residency, we will be deepening the narrative physicality and expanding the piece of ¡azúcar!.
