On the occasion of the beginning of the eighth edition of FOG, the artists featured in the opening night will dialogue with dance critic and expert Francesca Pedroni in Cuore. The talk aims to discuss the poetic and reflections behind each artist's research, while exploring the fundamental themes of the performances presented at Triennale in their national premieres.
Eman Hussein, born in 1994, is an Egyptian dancer, choreographer, and filmmaker living in Zurich. She has studied dance, street art, theater, and martial arts. Her works fuse workers’ everyday movements with contemporary dance and other art forms. Her films, which have been screened and won awards worldwide, combine aspects of public space and movement in contemporary dance.
Born in 1992, Samir Laghouati-Rashwan (lives and works in Marseille, FR) is a French-Moroccan-Egyptian artist and performer. He creates narratives from archival work, using media such as film, photography and sculpture. His work explores the politics of space and bodies, with a particular focus on representations of the Other, the body and race in mediated cultural productions and institutional art spaces. Laghouati-Rashwan has been exhibited and performed internationally.
Gaetano Palermo and Michele Petrosino are a Bologna-based artistic duo working in the visual and performing arts. Their research explores the ontology of movement from stasis to its negation. Their work has been presented at festivals and museum institutions.
