MONNULA – DOLLS WHO MIGRATE BY TAMARA CUBAS

In MONNULA – DOLLS WHO MIGRATE thousands of dolls begin their journeys around the world.

Each temporary host will choose a new point to send the doll and a travel diary to. MONNULA proposes an intimate, affective encounter that connects the historical and cultural origin of the doll with the person who receives it and its next addressees.

The travel diary tells the story of the doll and the ancestral tradition of the community that makes it. Its blank pages provide each host with a space to share the experience of their encounter.

MONNULA is also concerned with the tensions between religious, ritualistic, capitalist and environmental customs, material life and spiritual life, the West and indigenous peoples, and is interested in contrasts of possession and detachment, control and free movement.

MONNULA is a collective, gestural performance and shared cartography that aims to create connections between worlds and people.
