Institute of the Arts & Sciences Announces Winter Exhibitions
Mia Eve Rollow & Caleb Duarte: EDELO and Levester Williams: Our Bedrock Exhibition Dates January 31 - April 6, 2025Opening Reception Friday...
Join us on Tuesday March 4th for a geochoreography performance with Carolina Caycedo and Diana Carolina Figueroa. Organized as part of An Aesthetics of Resistance and involving classes from across the sciences, social sciences and arts, Paso Seguro/Safe Passage will invite participants to consider the relationships between the risks faced by whales when migrating and US border politics.
As described by Carolina, “A geochoreography aesthetically imprints a living image on the landscape, producing an expansive notion of the body and its location.”
This event is free and open to all. Members of the public and students who are not enrolled in a participating class, please register here by February 17th.
Carolina Caycedo (London, 1978) is a Colombian artist born in London and living in Los Angeles. Her murals, books, performances, films, photo-collages, hanging sculptures and installations are gateways into larger discussions about how we treat each other and the world around us. Engaging with issues of water and land stewardship, food sovereignty, and Fair Energy Transition, she inquires into ways of being on Earth that foster sustaining and caring relationships with the natural and built environments.
Research and participation are central to Caycedo’s work. Through her studio practice and spiritual fieldwork with communities impacted by extractivism, she invites viewers to consider the unsustainable pace of growth under capitalism and how we might embrace resistance and solidarity. Informed by rural practices, Native Peoples, and feminist epistemologies, Caycedo contributes to the reconstruction of environmental and historical memory as a fundamental space for climate and social justice.
Caycedo received a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Southern California and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia. She has received numerous grants and awards, and has her recent solo museum exhibitions include: We Place Life at the Center at Vincent Price Art Museum, Los Angeles (2024-2025) and the Museo de Arte Miguel Urrutia, Bogota (2025), Spiral for Shared Dreams at MoMA NYC (2023-2024).
