Artist Aileen Gavonel explores the magic of psychedelic music and its profound ability to mobilize creative and transformative energy. Through the vibrant rhythms of cumbia and salsa from the Infopesa discography, we explore the ways in which sound, rhythm and dance act as alchemical forces, connecting the body and spirit with the unseen.
Aileen's artistic practice combines clay as a soft weapon and visual poetry as mediums to reimagine and reinterpret ancient techniques and forms of production, guided by the urgencies of the places and moments in which she lives. Her work explores themes of fragility, the recovery of affection, healing, and the ritual dimension of everyday objects, as well as the interplay between the tension of urban and rural lifestyles.
