"The Library of Gestures SV.s5": A performance by Natalia Villanueva Linares

Saturday, September 30, 2:30–3:30pm

In conjunction with DPAM’s exhibition Life Cycles, artist Natalia Villanueva Linares presents the fifth session of The Library of Gestures, a participatory action where a 35–40 people are given the opportunity to join the artist and transform objects individually as part of a shared action and with collective instruction. Connected to her piece Dual 10 made out of tissue paper exhibited in Life Cycles, this performance is a means to create and accumulate new knowledge through experience, it is an encounter between a person, an object, sharing in communion with others.

To register to be part of this unique performance we invite you to register by emailing Ionit Behar at ibehar@depaul.edu by September 25, 2023. Must be older than 15 years old to participate.

Natalia Villanueva Linares is a Chicago-based, French-Peruvian artist whose work is rooted in performance, installation, interventions, and other participatory practices. Her interdisciplinary practice prompts a deeper connection to space and community.

This program is supported by DePaul’s Latinx Cultural Center, the Center for Latino Research, and Tepeyac.
