Mercedes Azpilicueta: Bondage of Passions

Gasworks presents the first UK commission by Amsterdam-based artist Mercedes Azpilicueta. Calling herself a 'dishonest researcher', Azpilicueta creates work in conversation with archives and libraries, myths and legends. In pursuit of elusive historical figures, she uncovers queer, migrant and unheard voices from South America’s colonial past.

Created in close collaboration with historians, dancers and craftspeople, her installations take the form of dramaturgy involving set designs, theatrical props, costumes and scores for a performance that doesn’t yet exist, and where the viewer is invited to take centre stage.

Wednesday – Sunday: 12:00 – 6:00 pm
