travesías

Terremoto is, since 2013, a cultural platform dedicated to critical thinking around contemporary art in “the Americas”. Our editorial focus is influenced by anti-patriarchal and anticolonial knowledge that encourages artistic and curatorial practices.

TRAVESÍAS is a research residency program for Latin American artists and curators. The project aims to explore decentralized territories throughout the continent while creating spaces for collective research and reflection.

Interplanetary Simulations is a research residency that brings together Latin American artistic and scientific practices to explore space conquest, planetary imagination and the possibilities of the cosmos in the face of a bleak future on Earth. The project consists of the exploration of the Sonoran desert—characterized by its exoplanetary landscape—to collectively reflect on utopian strategies of world creation, non-hegemonic futures and space exploration under an anti-patriarchal, anti-colonial and anti-racist gaze. The program consists of a research residency, a public program, an exhibition, a printed publication and a series of unpublished texts for our online platform.

Launch Projects (Pre- Residency Program)
  • TIME CAPSULE: OTHER WORLDY ARCHIVES
    Exhibition with five commissioned works by artists to create an archive for a future life in space. The time capsule will feature images, objects and other paraphernalia so to explore the relationship between the humankind and the objects and imaginaries we have created as a civilization.
  • SCREENINGS: EL FUTURO MÁS ACÁ
    Marathon Screening dedicated to Mexican science fiction cinema made between 1945 and 1980. The films can be seen as a reading on how to envision the future and the space from Latinoamérica.
  • STARGAZE
    A tour curated by Terremoto to the observatory of the Instituto Politécnico Nacional. We will invite two knowledgeable astronomers to help us discover the vast expanse of the universe. This extraordinary journey will leave us in awe of the immense beauty and infinite possibilities that await in the vastness of space.
