The artistic research

"The Translatress´ Tactic: Conflicted Trans-Atlantic Embodiment"
During caterina mora's residency she will tackle questions like:
What does it mean to be visible in the arts field? How many years of career do I need to be visible? Am I visible in the field if I am doing this residency? How many residencies do I need to be visible

It is the second reiteration of the theme as the first experience was in Stockholm (September 2022) and there is another one coming in Brussels (February-March 2023). In Copenhagen this research is accompanied by the HAUT-residency.

Furthermore, Caterina Mora invites four artists (co-researchers) from the local art scene in Denmark to attend her workshop and be her co-researchers. 
The residency format attempts to bring together learning instances, sharing and exposition processes, as well as documentation practices. caterina whishes create a platform were the research she is working on, develops and, at the same time, the invited artists can present their work if they wish. This is why time is redistributed among a workshop, rehearsal time and public presentations.

The workshop called ‘On Mother Tounges’ is about mother tongues and translations. Aiming to reflect on the performer skills, from our mother tongues to trans-linguicism, the sessions will develop obfuscated storytelling to deal with questions around the untranslatable.
Each artist will also have time to work on their own artistic research and projects, which they will present at a public two day mini-festival curated by caterina daniela mora jara called: Bevægelse i lille format. 

Participants of the workshop and the mini-festival:
Jupiter Child, Felis Dos, Abdul Dube, Barly Tshibanda and caterina daniela mora jara.
