Peleas de tigres

From the Gastronomy Guild we invite you to a tasting conference that continues to explore a dietetics of the spirit, re-inhabiting links between body and soul, food and ritual struggle. Inspired by the tiger battles in Guerrero - where men dress up as beasts to invoke the rain - artist, curator and boxer Antonio Monroy invites us to think of the body beyond performance and competition: as a space of offering, healing and resistance.

In this encounter we invite you to taste spirited ferments and shared practices, celebrating that perhaps the crisis of the present is nothing more than the movement of a collective moulting. Instead of competing, here we offer ourselves. Instead of measuring, we listen. Perhaps in this way another force reappears: the one that is unseen, but sustains.

With the participation of Antonio Monroy
Activity promoted by the Gastronomy Guild

Antonio Monroy is a Mexican multidisciplinary visual artist who lives between the countryside and the city. His artistic practice, of a heterotopic nature, seeks to question and subvert hegemonic-Western visions of the Earth and territory, generating spaces and debates beyond art.

He has worked with video art, drawing, writing and installation, and is a founding member of the Biennal Tlatelololca, a project that seeks to generate historical memory about Tlatelolco, an emblematic place in Mexican history.

In 2023 he created the research group Hacer t/Earth together with Paloma Stafford and Iris Torruella, from the PEI, promoting visions of interdependence with all beings. He also co-commissioned the pilot programme Dream Encounters with Erika Sprey, within the Dream Craft International Winter School.
