There Are New Suns: Dal Niente + Ana Garcia Jacome and Ariella Granados, Chicago, May 2024

CHICAGO - On May 11, Ensemble Dal Niente will join artists Ana Garcia Jacome and Ariella Granados in a program co-curated by Alejandro T. Acierto and Jose Luis Benavides, featuring video, performance, and musical works by Yun Lee, Jay Afrisando, Ana Garcia Jacome, Carolyn Chen, and Ariella Granados, with performances by Ariella Granados and Dal Niente members Alejandro Acierto, Zachary Good, and Mabel Kwan.

According to curators Acierto and Benavides, "There are new suns is a co-curated program of interdisciplinary and experimental performance works highlighting the edges of access, disability, and race. There are new suns poetically and creatively describes multiple conditions of disability to speculate alternative relationships to sound, image, and language. Or, as Octavia Butler writes, "There is nothing new under the sun, but there are new suns."

Program:

Yun Lee, Third Space

Jay Afrisando, [SOUNDSCAPTION]

Ana Garcia Jacome, Malitas: women, disability and medical violence

Carolyn Chen, adagio

Ariella Granados, improvisational work

This is the third in a series of shared programs between Dal Niente and other respected Chicago artists, supported by a DCASE Chicago Artists Recovery Program Grant. The first two programs featured electronicist Norman Long and multi-instrumentalist and composer Douglas R. Ewart with the quintet Limerick Rhythms.
