LO ÚNICO SEGURO ES QUE NOS VAMOS A MORIR by Carmina Escobar
In 2020, Carmina Escobar collaborated with LACE on “LO ÚNICO SEGURO ES QUE NOS VAMOS A MORIR”, a performative installation in observance of Día de Muertos. The performance was based on the Mexican syncretic celebration of the endless cycle of life and death in which catastrophes are never obliteration, but the transitions between forms. The title of this performance, “THE ONLY CERTAIN THING IS THAT WE ARE GOING TO DIE” leaves in the air the phrase, to be completed by the audience, “THUS WE MUST LIVE.”

El giro en la expresión de Triángulo Nother rompe y redefine "Triángulo Norte", un término geopolítico utilizado para referirse a Guatemala, El Salvador y Honduras como una región singular sobredeterminada por su relación con la criminalidad y la migración.
Triángulo Nother es organizado por Adán Vallecillo, artista y comisario hondureño, como parte de Intergalactix:against isolation/contra el aislamiento.
