Buried Luminaries is a meditative performance by Nicole Salcedo accompanied by the sounds of Agua Dulce. Conjuring the orbits of celestial bodies through a movement exploration of cycles and spirals. This performance invites attendees to contemplate the cycles of life and death, grief and joy, the swelling and receding of tides, within and around us.

Agua Dulce (they/them) is a queer, neurodivergent, and transdisciplinary artist, community organizer, and energy worker born and based in Miami, FL. Their work is shaped by their time participating in local non-profit orgs (Fempower, Miami Workers Center, WeCount!, etc), mentorship by Guadalupe Maravilla (sound healing) and Sterling Rook (metalwork), and the indescribable need to reveal truths hidden by colonization and oppression as a means to process, grieve, and heal. They are a 2023 Ellie’s Creator Award recipient for metalwork, and were the 2022-2023 Narrative Teaching Artist for the ICA Miami.

Nicole Salcedo (she/they) is a multi-disciplinary queer latinx artist born and based in Miami, Florida. She works in sculpture, fibers, performance and film, with a foundational practice in drawing. Nicole’s drawings and performances open up pathways that offer a deeper understanding of nature-consciousness and the connections between our bodies and the environment. Employing repetitive mark-making and movement to create meditative and emotionally charged imagery. Salcedo’s influences include botany, fractals, the physics of electromagnetic energy, and her animistic spiritual practice. By delving into her personal experiences and cultural heritage, she creates art that speaks to universal themes of identity, transformation, and interconnectedness. Salcedo’s work draws us closer to the mystery of existence and invites us to embrace the beauty and complexity of the world around us.
