abraso is an artistic collective formed by Camilo Londoño Hernández and Juan Pablo Gavira Bedoya, two Colombian artists living in Germany. Since 2022, we have founded the Mobile Center for Intratropical Artistic Research and Affective Practices as a way to study the movements, commotions, relations, tensions, and fictions between the Global South, where we come from, and the Global North, where we reside (temporarily). From here (and there), we aim to highlight the crisis points between the center and geopolitical peripheries, exploring relations of scale in dialogue with various disciplines.
In our recent career, we have participated in different shows and festivals in South America and Europe with projects like our performative video installation “La altura Indefinida” presented at the Pontificia Javeriana University and granted by the Ministry of Culture in Colombia; or the movie “El Nadador”, as a work in progress selected in spaces like FIDBA - International Documentary Film Festival of Buenos Aires and ENCOURAGE Talents Berlin. Recently, we performed our first residency, hosted by the PARCE Art Initiative in Ghent, Belgium, and supported by the Goethe Institut. Currently, we are collaborating with the Humboldt-Universität to present an interdisciplinary project between arts and sciences at the Fluid Interdisciplinarities Festival in Berlin next Autumn.
