«In the midst of this extraordinary situation, interpreters and improvisers have been on hiatus to make live music and as a collective we want to explore possible fields of communication improvising and performing at a distance, even from different countries – other ways of meeting, listening, seeing, speaking, feeling…»

Festival Mujeres en la Música Nueva

«medio día en tu orilla» is a visual sound performance project that proposes dialogues based on sound/visual proposals for improvisation, games, and scores, questions and answers that will be given in other dimensions of the language, in other spaces, and with multiple possibilities of interaction. Each video sent by each of the participants, who make up the group, will be answered by the other 4. This process will be carried out 5 times. An educational proposal follows, where the participants share about the collective process, the work itself, and the implication of improvisation in our contexts.

Festival Mujeres en la Música Nueva is a project that aims to recognize, and make visible, the work of women in contemporary academic, and experimental music, also opening possibilities to stimulate creation and collaboration between performers and composers. This festival was born as a response to the inequitable conditions that are lived daily in the midst of music in Colombia and the world
