Lightning Dance by Cecilia Bengolea is a black and white video that considers the relationship between extreme weather and the body. Alongside the artist, the work features Craig Black Eagle, Oshane Overload-Skankaz, and their dance teams, performing solo and group routines. Dancing on the side of a busy road, their choreography is inspired by popular Jamaican dancehall, a sexualized style of dance that the artist believes to have restorative properties.

Palabrarma (obreros palabreando) by Cecilia Vicuña is a series of works in which the artist blends poetry, political commentary and graphic design. The title itself is a portmanteau that unites the words palabra (word) and arma (weapon) that speaks literally of the power of words through their poetic potential. A poet herself, Vicuña developed a long series of palabrarmas on diverse media that were often used as slogans in political demonstrations.
