ANTAGÓNICO - PERFORMANCE

Antagónico is a live collaborative performance between visual artist Leslie Molina and musician, poet, composer and singer Karin Nelo. The project emerges from the meeting of poetry, music, and painting, where sound and image develop together in real time. During the performance, Karin performs original musical compositions and poetry that fill the space with narrative and rhythm. In response, Molina creates large-scale paintings live, using gestures that expand across the surface and into the surrounding space. As the performance unfolds, the lyrics and musical atmosphere begin to take visual form, allowing imagery to emerge organically alongside the sound.

The performance unfolds over approximately thirty minutes and has been presented in cultural institutions in Mexico City, including the Biblioteca Vasconcelos, Centro Cultural Futurama, and the Museo de la Ciudad de México.

Following the performance at Centro Cultural Futurama, the artwork produced during the performance was preserved and installed in the main hall as part of the exhibition collective “F”, where it remained on view throughout the month of March as part of the institution’s programming for Women’s Month.
