QUESADA- BARÓ (Marina Quesada & Paula Baró) is a duo based in Buenos Aires that has been developing artistic and curatorial projects since 2014. Their work explores the potential of collaboration specifically oriented to the exchange between persons with different backgrounds and alternative knowledge systems.
From the process of research of contextual and relational projects,, through the process of creation and exhibition of work, they wonder how to find in each of these stages mechanisms to hack the single thought. With a clear focus on South America and vindicating its voices and their performances and the festivals, events and residencies they organize involve investigations on ecologism, posthumanism, colonialism, sexual diversity and collaborationism.
In 2014 they founded LODO, an independent and artistic structure to develop their projects, at the same time, an artistic-curatorial platform that aims to develop contemporary living arts with focus in Latin America. In 2018 they have co created the project Colectivo Utópico, that brings together three artists duos from Argentina, Brazil and Switzerland to question the way our North-South tensions are shaped by past and present utopias. Their works have been exhibited at FIAC in Salvador de Bahia, Festival Internacional de Buenos Aires, LIFT in London, Festival de la Cité in Lausanne, FAR°, Nyon.
