About the Event
Join us for the premiere of Stone Bodies / Cuerpos de Piedra, a video performance by María Adela Díaz at the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara.
A collective action of endurance and care, Stone Bodies brings together 13 women in the creation and activation of a 1,500-piece ceramic chain—carrying 500 pounds of shared weight. The work speaks to migration, interdependence, and the often-invisible labor of women, transforming the body into a site of resistance, memory, and belonging.
Presented as a video installation with sound.
Come witness, listen, and hold space.
