PortuguêsOn June 10, Wednesday, at 5:00 PM, Pivô Boulevard will host a listening session of the sound publication Vórtices Errantes, a project by Ana Gábri.
The work originates from a poem and consists of a live recording of a performance presented at the Aloísio Magalhães Museum of Modern Art in Recife in 2025. A celebration of error through the creation of an immersive experience forged by language in a state of wandering, the performance unfolds as a metalinguistic game between reality and fiction.
Following two listening sessions, a roundtable conversation will take place featuring Ana Gábri, Luciene Azevedo, and Pedro Filho, moderated by Uriel Bezerra. During the event, the culinary activation will be curated by Patrícia Marques and her renowned tray of delicacies.
A partnership between the independent publishing labels Edições Marafas and Estranhas Ocupações, the sound publication of the work is supported by the Government of the State of Pernambuco through the Secretariat of Culture and FUNDARPE, via FUNCULTURA – Pernambuco’s Cultural Incentive Fund.
