What happens when we read with others, together with others and out loud? What happens when we read on the move? Beyond the traditional ways of reading and sharing a text, Veladas activates other ways of connecting with the word. We seek to liberate and give life to a group of texts written by women. Each reader who participates in the action puts into operation the repertoire of knowledge and feelings that, during the action, leads her to improvise and join the choir of voices that takes place there. For this
For this reason, Veladas always occurs differently, as it is the bodies of the women who participate that “write” the action (by resonating with the voices of the texts and with the other bodies that act alongside them).

​

Veladas is an artistic initiative by Carolina López Jiménez, developed thanks to collective and permanent work with Paola Correa, Filippa Prietov, Hanna Thiesing, Jamie Angie Howard Bernal, Kro Sans Persépolis, Ima Lady, María Inés Rodríguez and Angie Andrea Arango.

We are a multidisciplinary group made up of: writer/artist, performer, visual artist,
anthropologist and audiovisual producer, communicator and dancer, pedagogue in performing arts, actress, philosopher and writer. We formed as a collective at the origin of Veladas and together we continue to make this artistic action grow, mutate and circulate. We have carried out 2 call actions
open at the Gaitán House Museum (April 9 and November 2, 2019) and one at the National University of Colombia Art Museum (July 20, 2019), as well as more than ten body and voice laboratories, which include interventions in the public space.
