Chuquimamani-Condori and Joshua Chuquimia Crampton present a live music performance at Radialsystem on December 04th as part of “SENSE presents Creamcake: 10/11”, as well as a screening of their film-collaboration “Amaru’s Tongue: Daughter”. The sibling artists’ and musicians’ work is knotted with traditional Aymara knowledge and practice, an indigenous people of the Andes regions of South America. Their sounds emerge between the horizons of American west coast post-minimalism as well as autochthonous Andean Aymara music.
The 2021 movie “Amaru’s Tongue: Daughter” by Chuquimamani-Condori and Joshua Chuquimia Crampton is a moving image collage of Super 8 mm film, animation and archival sound and footage. A reflection on life, death, and time from the perspective of their Aymaran heritage, the film tells of the artists’ late grandmother, her three-year transition of death and the ever-present guidance of Andean goddess Pachamama – the spacetime world mother. A surreal and unnerving score by Joshua Chuquimia Crampton accompanies writer-director Chuquimamani-Condori’s artful, and at times amusing rumination on ritual and ceremony.
“SENSE presents Creamcake: 10/11” is the first collaboration between the Berlin-based interdisciplinary platform Creamcake and Radialsystem. On the occasion of the 10th respectively 11th anniversary (with an interruption due to the pandemic), Creamcake’s birthday series “10/11” reflects on art, culture and music that has either come, gone, or carried on, with and around its scene since starting in 2011. Employing the perspectives of choreography, visual arts, music and workshop formats, Radialsystem investigates in the programme series “SENSE” an embodied practice of sensory perception.

SENSE – Geographies of Perception
Employing the perspectives of choreography, visual arts, music and workshop formats, Radialsystem investigates with the programme series "SENSE" an embodied practice of sensory perception. The double meaning contained in the title of the series – “sense” denotes both sensation and sentiment – invokes and challenges the distinction between thinking and feeling – or theory and practice – common in the Western Enlightenment tradition of knowledge.
