Bailando Semillas / Dancing Seeds (2025)
|
Created together with Luz Zenaida Hualpa García and Masaru Nishimoto, this video (20 min) weaves together dance, community, and land shaped by migration, exploring how dance is practiced and transmitted. A central thread is the dialogue with Alejandra Ambukka Tafur, a 75-year-old Afroperuvian dancer, oral historian, and chronicler of the Afroperuvian community of Malambo/Rímac (Lima). Filmed in July 2024, the conversations reflect over a decade of work by Luz Y Color, a community dance project in Berlin led by dancer and choreographer Luz Zenaida Hualpa García, a student of Master Ambukka. The video interlaces discussions with dancers, researchers, and communities in Lima, Reque, and Zaña (Peru), touching on Afro-Indigenous contributions, colonial legacies, racism, and neoliberal economies.
