As part of Tramway's Dance International Glasgow festival, 9 - 24 May, our gallery programme presents an exhibition of three performance films by multi-disciplinary artist and activist Elyla (b. 1989, Chontales, Nicaragua).
Informed by Mesoamerican indigenous cultural practices, their work deploys the potency of rituals, folk traditions and ancestral knowledges to mediate urgent social issues and queer politics.
