This second in a series of four educational publications of the 36th Bienal de São Paulo centers on the Invocation held in Les Abymes, Guadeloupe, exploring the intelligence of bodily movements as they navigate rupture and adaptation to maintain balance amid crises. By reflecting on resilience and the dynamics of movement, this volume aims to deepen understanding of how physicality and adaptability intersect with broader cultural and social challenges. The concept stems from
bigidi
, a core element of the Guadeloupean dance
gwoka,
characterized by improvisation and alternating between moments of rupture and continuity in a constant effort to maintain balance. Léna Blou, a leading authority on this tradition, identifies
and its mode of moving as the essential nature of the Caribbean being, which, in her words, "knows how to stabilize instability and transform disharmony into harmony."
This book was published in association with Fundação Bienal de São Paulo.
