The first opening of the research project set in motion by Carolina Jiménez and Lorenzo Sandoval will be held at 7.00 pm on 4 October. We will be joined at the event by Tania Adam, Ethel Baraona Pohl, Erick Beltrán, Paula García-Masedo and Toni Navarro, who will be sharing some of the vectors of their respective contributions to the project.
Ritmoepistemologías (Rhythmepistemologies) is a research project that incorporates various definitions extending from and towards the notion of rhythmanalysis, as put forward by the French author Henri Lefebvre. With this concept, Lefebvre proposed tools to infer the ways in which rhythms modulate the world, thereby overcoming the binarism of two not necessarily diverging forms: that of a linear rhythm – which tends to impose itself through industrial manufacturing and the extractivist exploitation of bodies and territories – and that of a circular rhythm, which corresponds to cycles of nature such as the movement of constellations or the beating of the heart. Taking this proposition as its basis, Ritmoepistemologías seeks to recognise, reproduce and publish patterns – be they sound, choreographic, textile, visual or textual – as a methodology of research in the form of collaborative study and expanded writing. In a context in which multiple juxtaposed timeframes exist, we propose various forms of production that make it possible to work from the starting point of difference.
