Currently working at Monte artist studios in San Telmo, Buenos Aires to process the outcomes of a collaborative project, the Creature in Between, in Santa Victoria Este II, Salta (Argentina). The pilot "chapter" of the Creature in Between took place across 10 days in October, in collaboration with the Centro Cultural Tewok and the community of Santa Victoria Este II, together with artists Claudia Fontes, Elba Bairon, Guadalupe Miles and Mateo Carabajal.

The project, conceived by the Appreciation Society, is proposed as a platform for experimental interdisciplinary work, seeking novel ways of translating perceptions across cultures, generations, languages and species through creative processes.

I'm currently editing new sound materials gathered during the colaboratorio through creative exchanges with Mawo and Titzil, along with other members of the wichí community in Santa Victoria Este II. Beyond artistic outcomes as part of the Creature in Between, we're hoping to develop these materials as part of a pilot sound archive for a future museum at the Centro Cultural Tewok.

With thanks to support of my participation in the project from the Arts Council England / British Council Artists International Development Fund, British Council Argentina and Ministerio de Cultura y Turismo de Salta, and the Appreciation Society.
