The festival’s invited artists are all working with and expanding on themes of ancestry, pushing the boundaries of what it means to inhabit space, connecting with spirits and breaking down barriers between worlds. Taking its title from the Tarot card of the same name, Daughter of Cups in the North speaks of creativity, new possibilities, ancestry and psychic intuition. Developed as part of artist Bobbi Cameron’s residency at An Tobar, the festival will include a new sound installation by the artist entitled Without Time, Without Distance, Without Mind. Exploring spirituality and
ancestry through working with reiki energy, Cameron has created a method of opening up passages to the future as well as caring for moments of the past. The sound is a collage of originally composed solfeggio frequencies, archival sound and meditative guidance, a soundscape that travels and shifts throughout the gallery in its own temporal architecture. Painted fabrics hang within the space which hold and guide the sound. Mele Broomes will premiere a live performance of her digital work Wrapped Up in This which was first shown as part of the Take Me Somewhere Festival 2021. Wrapped Up in This explores a journey of rebirth, of connecting with Broomes’ ancestry to ask the question is this who you want me to be? Peruvian poet, artist and card reader Daniella Valz Gen
