Performance by Arpita Akhanda, Cristina Flores Pescorán, and Rehema Chachage, part of Murmuring Matter: On the Cosmopolitics of Materials, Museum Night Maastricht, Jan Van Eyck Academie.

​

Arpita Akhanda, Cristina Flores Pescorán, and Rehema Chachage come together in their first ever collaboration. They devise three interrelated performances that explore the multifaceted nature of time and investigate its historical, individual, and communal manifestations. Through real and imagined experiences, they present various economies of time, prompting us to consider how individual memories and shared experiences shape our sense of place and belonging. With its diverse interpretations and applications, time here serves as a fertile ground for artistic exploration and reflection tapping into intergenerational and ancestral knowledges, and embodied experiences.
