NOMASMETAFORAS

The NOMASMETAFORAS collective, formed by Clara Melniczuk and Julian Dupont, works knitting contemporary art practices, pedagogies and spiral imagination linking a constellation between France and Colombia. Committed to the Indigenous knowledge of the Cauca region, their artistic practice is articulated in the activation of listening and reflection spaces that wonder towards the disarticulation of anthropocentrism to allow a multiple inhabiting beyond the human.

They currently work as dynamizers-pedagogues in the Intercultural Indigenous Autonomous University of the Indigenous Regional Council of Cauca, where they coordinate spaces of encounter and alliance between the arts and the pedagogies of Abya-Yala, among them the residence ‘The School of the Pluriverse’, the Sculptural space ‘The House of Collective Dreams’, and the creation of a future pedagogical program in the UAIIN-CRIC linking the practices in contemporary art, philosophy, and traditional medicines.
