States

“Border art: step over the wall!” is a documentary series on the History of Border Art, an emerging artistic genre, born on the US-Mexico boundary. On this highly symbolic and emblematic border of the world's closure, artists, scholars and curators from both sides seek ways to transform division into connection. 

Episode 2: As we walk the line of Border Art's history, it's time to trace the steps of its pioneers: the Chicano artists whose fights have shaped the political claims of Border Art.

This week on States special Dance Season,

In this fourth and final special episode, Wanjiru Kamuyu reflects on her artistic exploration during a Villa Albertine residency. Here, the dancer and choreographer delves into her "Fragments" project, which explores the body as a repository of lived and inherited experiences. Her artistic journey began with questions about how to translate research into movement that is both engaging and meaningful. Kamuyu grew up in Kenya, where she felt validated and affirmed, but moving to the U.S. exposed her to new concepts of migration, race, and identity, which have since become central to her work. Through extensive research and interviews with diverse individuals, including epigenetic scientists, scholars, and somatic practitioners Kamuyu explores how ancestral experiences influence our well-being and physicality. Her work bridges different cultures and perspectives, shedding light on the power of dance as a tool for healing and understanding the human experience.

Reflecting on her residency in Silicon Valley, Claire discusses the evolving role of technology in art. In particular, she explores whether technology can be used to access new kinds of poetic freedom in artistic expression – or whether it is too deeply tied to its socio-political context and consequences. Claire also discusses her experience in San Francisco, a city that, perhaps paradoxically, embodies both technological advancement and a deep connection to nature, drawing out points on eco-feminism, AI, and imagination.
