Sucúa Haven
(work in progress)
Sucúa Haven is a collaborative project that inhabits the border between anthropology and art, between Ecuador and the United States, and between fiction and non-fiction. The project was initiated through the Mellon Artist and Practitioner Fellowship at Yale’s Race, Indigeneity, and Transnational Migration (RITM) Research Center.
Inspired by Jean Rouch’s ethnofictions and Augusto Boal’s theater, Sucúa Haven presents a series of short stories, staged and documentary photographs, videos, and audio pieces based on the experiences, memories, dreams, and imagined alternative lives of a community primarily composed of Ecuadorians in Greater New Haven. Together, these elements form a portrait of this transnational territory.
It is has circulated in printed formats, in academic and non academic journals, in a installation video format in museums and galleries as well as a narrative performance in community and cultural spaces.
