ABOUT THE PIECES
PRAISE MUSIC SONOGRAM
Julia Barbosa Landois’s Praise Music Sonogram is a live performance that combines spoken word, video, and experimental sound to tell a story of motherhood, miscarriage, and abortion access across national and state borders. Contrasting an unexpected experience in a European haven for healthcare seekers with the medical scarcity and the 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade in the U.S., Barbosa Landois delivers a narrative that is both deeply personal and unexpectedly comedic.
Praise Music Sonogram exists where storytelling, community medicine, and transnational healthcare persist as resistance to geographic borders and limits on bodily autonomy. In development as part of a 2023 NPN Creation Fund grant from August 2023-December 2024, the work premiered at DiverseWorks before traveling to the Stanlee and Gerald Rubin Center for the Visual Arts at the University of El Paso and Links Hall.
ABORT
ABORT is a multifaceted choreographic work that draws inspiration from realms of club culture and the influential contributions of Black Women in rock music. At its core, the project explores the nuances of visibility and self-expression from our Birth until the Present and delves into themes such as sensuality, desire, resilience, and individual agency.
The work creates a landscape, challenging societal labels and their impact on womxns bodies. It endeavors to provide solutions for finding liberation within one's own physicality, embracing both the freedom to express and harnessing the power of silence and solitude.
The work is an ongoing journey that investigates the intersection of birth and choice while fostering a sense of community and personal empowerment.
ABORT is a manifestation of a collective Community exploration into freedom within our bodies, as well as the strength of individual choices. It examines the concept of resilience and asks the question: “What does it look and feel like if I have agency in my life?”
