In a performance that brings together years of academic research, family, and personal histories, Berlin-based Luiza Prado creates a detailed setting to make two different kinds of lace. In the making of the performance, the artist observes the materiality and the colors of the threads to make lace typical from Denmark and Brazil, the soil surrounding the gallery that hosts her exhibition, and the exposure of her own body as an immigrant living in Europe. Luiza's intricate creative process reveals the connections between past and present, seeking a decolonial perspective to knowledge and finding answers in the use of medicinal plants.
