In this ninth episode of the Wording Dances podcast, we invited Angela Guerreiro to read us a text written for this occasion, titled “The Decolonial in the Arts, Museums, and THE ART OF BEHAVING BADLY”.
Guerreiro is a mother, an independent artist, dance mentor, producer, researcher, activist, festival and conference curator, movement therapist and somatic movement educator. She was a resident choreographer at Kampnagel Hamburg between 1995 and 2002, her works touring internationally. She is currently a PhD candidate in the “Postcolonialisms and Global Citizenship” program at the Center for Social Studies of the University of Coimbra, a member of UNA-União Negra das Artes, and president of the board of Natureza Arte Corpo e Alma Association.
Wording Dances presents a series of episodes, both in Portuguese and English, where renowned artists from the international contemporary dance scene discuss matters which make of dancing and choreographing an inexhaustible terrain of experimentation, problematization and thinking. A co-production between Estúdios Victor Córdon and Parasita Association, hosted by Carlos Manuel Oliveira.
The series is published in the following platforms:
Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, Radio Public, Castbox e Soundcloud.
