What does it take to build a space of attention?
\nHow can we take responsibility for the memories of others\u2014embody them, and make space for them in our imagination?<\/p>\n

This has happened before, and it will happen again. Over and over again we find ourselves softly retelling the stories our grandmothers once told us. We hold on to them as if they were noble truths, forgetting that other tale, once whispered by our grandmother\u2019s grandmother. We are made of stories, in a state of perpetual digestion: we absorb what is other, transform it, and share it. Exchange becomes an intimate and selfless act.<\/p>\n

We usually come to exhibitions expecting to receive something. Here, the first step is to give. Without that openness\u2014without consent\u2014there can be no real encounter.<\/p>\n

The first activation centers around a plastic membrane: a collective ear installed on-site, whose perforations invite secrets, a letting-go of memory so it can circulate in a space of transaction\u2014like in a street market.<\/p>\n

We all know that memory has never truly belonged to us, even if we act as though it does. Putting it into motion\u2014into a space of barter\u2014strips away a layer of identity\u2014armor, boundary, contact\u2014and readies us for exchange.<\/p>\n

The second performance invites us to listen to those already-shared stories, to discover them as if for the first time. The memory of the other filters through our body, and we sculpt it anew, reinterpreting what is absent.<\/p>\n

The Other Mouth<\/em> is a small analog assemblage to help us take responsibility for collective memory: to open a hole in the body in order to inhabit it.<\/p>\n

The Other Mouth<\/em> is the final joint project by the participants in the BAR TOOL #7 artistic research training program, developed between November 2024 and May 2025. This edition of the program proposed an experimental space focused on writing as a relational artistic practice. Guided by mentors Marta Echaves, Joseph del Pesco, Guillermo Faivovich, and Claudia Pag\u00e8s Rabal, along with program directors Andrea Rodr\u00edguez Novoa and Veronica Valentini, the participants explored listening, intimacy, and language as tools to activate sensitive and critical forms of knowledge. The result of months of shared exploration, The Other Mouth unfolds as a collective gesture to imagine how to inhabit memory\u2014both our own and that of others\u2014through the body, attentive listening, and symbolic exchange.<\/p>\n
