URIEL ORLOW:
GREY, GREEN, GOLD (AND RED)

Utopiana
2019

Grey, Green, Gold (and Red) expands on the themes and concerns of Orlow’s project Theatrum Botanicum (2015-2018), considering plants and gardens as active agents in politics and history. Following human-plant entanglements, Grey, Green, Gold (and Red) explores the role played by the garden Nelson Mandela and his fellow inmates planted on Robben Island prison during their 18-year incarceration, the implications of an ongoing battle between a flower and a squirrel, as well as the fate of alien species in Europe and South Africa.

Encounter with Olivier Marboeuf

Utopiana
2019

 

What are we doing together? Who has seen hidden stories, traces and tiny lives running around, sweat-beaded? Who saw the voices dragging in the mud and rose silently in the cool of a forest, vocal cords broken by the cacophony of a city? Who has cast his feet in the shadow, on a moving ground in the mangrove, without master and without purpose. What are we doing together? Who deals with gestures, stories, a community of wandering? Who sees it stretch, compose, decompose? Who hears his agreements and disagreements? Who wears bare shoulders a landscape in transition. Who is exploring futures?

TABITA REZAIRE: MERKABA FOR THE HOETEPS

Utopiana
2019

 

Join in a meditative journey into the wisdom of Kemetic Yoga* to awaken your light beings and reclaim your hoetep powers.
In our times of ultra disconnection, ancient African teachings offer guidance to raise our vibrational frequency and tune into our energy source.
The spiritual technology of Kemetic Yoga enable us to reconnect and remember our divine creative essence through the science of breath, geometrical alignments, storytelling and sound.
As we embody ancestral tales and stimulate our body memory, we allow for subtle quantum reprogramming to balance the flow of energy and nurture the sacred geometry of our beings and environments.
Come turn your MerKaBa on.
