francis and anthony almendáreznavigating the archives within, vol. 2

An immersive installation of video and multichannel sound tracing a century of Latin American music and its circulation.

The brothers continue their film and performance series on how Latinx communities are represented in American media, here focusing on music as a living archive shaped by transnational exchange and the entertainment industry.

Original and archival materials set genres against improvisation, language hybridization and the sounds of endemic fauna from their family homelands. The show is part of the Media Cycles initiative, supported by the Teiger Foundation.
