This week, we are deeply honored to chat with dancer, dance teacher, choreographer, and artist, Jasmine Albuquerque. Jasmine has worked with towering figures such as Joey Solloway, Ryan Heffington, Mike Mills, and Beck, and in spaces like the Hammer, the MOCA, and the LACMA. In 2022, Jasmine and her mother, the legendary and iconic artist Lita Albuquerque, exhibited their collaborative film, Liquid Light, at the Venice Biennale.

This is an extraordinary conversation with an extraordinary artist, in which Leonora and Jasmine discuss their relationship to dance and their own bodies, Jasmine’s unique and freedom-filled childhood in the mountains, and what it’s like to be a daughter who becomes a mother. Beautiful stuff.
