There Are New Suns: Dal Niente + Ana García Jácome & Ariella Granados, Chicago, May 2024
CHICAGO – On May 11, Ensemble Dal Niente will join artists Ana García Jácome and Ariella Granados in a program co-curated by Alejandro T. Acierto and Jose Luis Benavides, featuring video, performance, and musical works by Yun Lee, Jay Afrisando, Ana García Jácome, Carolyn Chen, and Ariella Granados, with performances by Ariella Granados and Dal Niente members Alejandro Acierto, Zachary Good, and Mabel Kwan.
According to curators Acierto and Benavides, “There are new suns is a co-curated program of interdisciplinary and experimental performance works highlighting the edges of access, disability, and race. There are new suns poetically and creatively describes multiple conditions of disability to speculate alternative relationships to sound, image, and language. Or, as Octavia Butler writes, “There is nothing new under the sun, but there are new suns.”
Program:
Yun Lee, Third Space
Jay Afrisando, [SOUNDSCAPTION]
Ana García Jácome, Malitas: women, disability and medical violence
Carolyn Chen, adagio
Ariella Granados, improvisational work
This is the third in a series of shared programs between Dal Niente and other respected Chicago artists, supported by a DCASE Chicago Artists Recovery Program Grant. The first two programs featured electronicist Norman Long and multi-instrumentalist and composer Douglas R. Ewart with the quintet Limerick Rhythms.
