Looking at our connection to the world as a community of sentient beings will allow us to open various paths of investigation, whether it be the relationship between human and nature, human and culture, or human and human. The term sentient being allows us to abandon historically charged definitions, to think of personhood and humans more broadly. At the core of the concept, is an interrogation of the historical and social usage of a category of human, which concerns whom and what we consider part of a community.<\/p>\n

Michelle S\u00e1enz Burrola<\/strong> (M\u00e9xico-USA, 1992) is an artist who uses media such as video, photography, text, dance, drawing in installations, performances, and editorial publications, exploring a common platform between the performing and the visual arts. In her work, she deals with questions concerning the construction and representation of the female body and its relation to its context where no place circumstance or situation is isolated from each other. Michelle has a BA in Visual Arts from La ENPEG La Esmeralda and an MFA in Performing Arts from The Iceland University of the Arts. Since 2012, she started collaborating in different geographical points such as M\u00e9xico, Colombia, Belgium, Iceland, United States, and Austria participating in art exhibitions, artistic researches, documentary theater projects, and educational mediation for contemporary art. In the last years she has been developing different cultural platforms in collaboration with cultural agents in M\u00e9xico City looking for a union between exhibitions and the production of different cultural processes beyond the results as mere objects.<\/p>\n

My name is R\u00fanar \u00d6rn J\u00f3h\u00f6nnu Marin\u00f3sson<\/strong>, I was born in 1989. I am both a visual artist and a musical performer. I am also a youth worker. I\u2019m interested in play, work, pleasure, family, history, labor, leisure, control, compassion, freedom, privilige, expression, identity and being as a sculptural process and a lot of other things as well. In my practice I utilize several mediums to explore these diverse efforts of human beings to understand, comprehend and control the internal and external realities of themselves and others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
