Federico Protto enriched our imagination with MAPA: PIRIÁPOLIS, a performance lecture in which he transported images, emotions and landscapes of the Uruguayan culture and landscape to The Green Corridor in Saint-Gilles.
Federico Protto’s artistic practice unfolds across
performance, sound, fashion, and research. Spanning
a hybrid network of materialities, practices, and
collaborators, he aims at contributing to im/material
forms and tools for decolonial kinship.
These forms and tools are invoked at proto-esoteric
gatherings (such as the work ‘Dress-Rehearsals’ 2022),
blends of performance, workshop, and installation,
addressing ancestry, migration, and continuity
collectively. Texts, songs, dances, languages, costumes,
objects, paintings, and audio-visual works are activated
through instinct, impulse, humour and spontaneity.
The multidisciplinary work harbours methods atypical
to the global north, nourished by ethno-ecological,
queer, and subcultural thought and approach. His close
and longterm collaborators are, among others, Stefan
Cantante, Anna Lugmeier, Myriam Van Imschoot, and
Lisa Deml.
