Intervenida by Itahisa Borges is a proposal that asks how to sustain artistic research when the affective, emotional, and bodily reality of motherhood breaks in and disrupts any desire for control. We live in a culture that segregates spaces of making; even within the field of live arts, which prides itself on openness, motherhood is understood as something that interrupts an artistic career, takes away time, and overflows established structures. From this experience, Intervenida emerges: a practice of poetic and bodily resistance, an essay on the possibility of creating from the simultaneous presence of mother and daughter. This is not about “balancing” or “reconciling” —that domesticated word— but about integrating: allowing caregiving to transform creation and vice versa, thus becoming the very material of the work.
