ABHANA
With the awaited comeback of The Los Angeles Flamenco Festival, the year 2023 symbolizes the return of major in-person dance performances and art exhibitions in Southern California:
'ABHANA', from April 1 until April 2, 2023 at the Redondo Beach Performance Arts Center debuts as the festival opens its stage to Flamenco legends Antonio Canales, Pastora Galván, and Dorantes.
This year’s edition of the solo painting exhibit aims at elevating works of women and non gender confirming artists in Flamenco. ‘S.E.X. : Spiritually Empowered Xenofeminism’ title responds to the current events in the Parsi artist's country of origin, Iran while drawing on the resurgence nature of Flamenco for persecuted populations. The exhibit is curated by Chicago-based Andy Conklin and gathers over 200 drawings completed on location live at Flamenco performances in Spain. The main works of the exhibit are divided into three parts: ‘The representation of bodies in motion’, ‘The relationship between individuals and societies,’ and ‘The connection between Flamenco dance and song’. In addition to the main exhibitions, the exhibit will feature five time-capsule art works: unseen historic works, borrowed from museum collections and installed along the show’s contemporary works. The exhibition is available from April 1 to April 2, 2023.
