About the Artist
Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti is an Amsterdam-based mutli-medium artist who has worked as a vocalist, composer, performer and maker. Born in Bolivia and raised in Brazil, she weaves her sonic and performative practices inspired by her latinx roots. For the last two decades she has been creating work autonomously and as part of the vibrant and outspoken music, performance and physical theater scenes in the Netherlands. She has performed internationally in a wide range of concert venues, festivals, theater stages and museum spaces.
Her practice involves a multidisciplinary approach which stems from her deep connection to ritual and trance as a form of threading worldviews carried by her ancestors. It is also a deliberate act of resistance to bond with knowledge that has been erased by means of colonization and oppression. She sees her heritage almost as if it would be ‘trickster dust’ that never ceases to whisper its memories through songs, embodiment, image and spatial information, with the aim of creating celebratory, energetic and shape-shifting sonic performances.
Feragutti’s work is deeply interwoven in post-colonial justice, the paradox and beauty between grief and celebration, Andean Cosmology as a source of reclamation, resistance and resilience.
Embodiment embedded in sonic fabrics while speculating myths through word oracles. A neo-mestiza, a spiritual activist, a femme defender, and a Moon lover.
