This work came in response to the COVID-19 lockdowns globally. Noor us Sabah in collaboration with Ginna Vélez a performance artist from Bogotá responded to the open call ‘Correspondence’ from Art Connect Berlin. The interactive-performative exercises were designed to understand each other’s new routines by a mutual concordance between an emitter and a receiver. Both artists allowed each other to spend some time through Skype to understand: What is keeping them motivated, healthy, and productive during self-isolation? And which spaces in the house they spend most of their time? The artists took this time as an opportunity to exchange ideas and to share means of enjoyment considering the context of each person, for instance, family heritage and folkways.
