Revisit: Segundo Bercetche and Tomi Lebrero

The Bandoneon Returns

Argentinian musicians Segundo Bercetche and Tomi Lebrero participated in Forecast 5, in 2020, as nominees in the mentorship field Future Traditions in Music under composer and performer Du Yun. Their project evolved around the layered history of the bandoneon, a German instrument which found its way to Argentina in the nineteenth century, where it became the instrument of choice for folk musicians playing in cabarets and brothels. In the fall of 2022, two years after they conceived the project idea for Forecast, Bercetche and Lebrero released a record and traveled to the German region from which the bandoneon had originated to find out more about its history. →

REVISIT: ABHIJAN TOTO

Building Communities through Collective Curating

Curator Abhijan Toto participated in the third edition of Forecast, working with mentor David Elliott, also a curator, toward presenting The Exhaustion Project at the 2018 Forecast Festival.

Prophetic Performances

Artist Isaac Chong Wai processes societal shifts, global tensions, and collective traumas into multifaceted works that span performance, installation, video, photography, and painting. Capturing Forecast’s cross-disciplinarity, he participated in its second edition in 2017 as a nominee in the Choreography category, with Richard Siegal as mentor, and worked alongside dancers and choreographers as his fellow nominees rather than with visual artists. This opened his performance-art practice to new and perhaps unexpected experimentation. →

Interview

Playing with the unexpected

In Conversation with Barbara Vanderlinden and Kalliopi Tsipni-Kolaza What made Kalliopi’s proposal stand out from the rest?

To me, it feels →
