Multimedia Art / Sonic Essay
Echoes from the Borderlands
In this one-of-a-kind experimental sound work, acclaimed author Valeria Luiselli, composer Leonardo Heilblum, and multimedia artist Ricardo Giraldo will perform a powerful one-hour-long excerpt from Echoes from the Borderlands, a “sonic essay” that documents the histories of violence and resistance against land and bodies in the US-Mexico border.
The project is still in development and lasts 24 hours –the driving time along the border from San Diego to the Texas Gulf Coast. Echoes from the Borderlands interweaves a rich tapestry of soundscapes, music, poetry, essays, interviews, and archival material. The work also connects issues that have marked the borderlands, such as the genocide of native peoples, nuclear testing, migration, femicide, vigilantism, human trafficking, and mass detention.
Excerpts from Echoes from the Borderlands have also been presented at Joe’s Pub, Harvard University, and the University of California at Berkeley, among others.
Echoes from the Borderlands is being developed in partnership with Dia Art Foundation.
This performance is presented with NYU Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS).
