Let Us Drink The New Wine, Together!
Let Us Drink The New Wine, Together! explores practices for continuing artistic friendships and creative exchanges through conditions of intense separation. An archive of miniature works of art created in collaboration with more than 60 artists from all continents of the world during 2020-2022 spirals through space, organized as a kind of affective weather system of human connection, moving beyond the human control

Acut: The Other Side Of The Limit
Artists and writers alys longley (New Zealand) and Francisco González Castro (Chile) have been working together on creative-media research methodologies since 2021. Their research project Acut: The Other Side of the Limit covers performance art, creative writing, philosophy, poetics, installation, drawing and dance. Through this project they produce books, performances, scholarly writing and creative experiments aimed at other artists, writers, philosophers, performers, art lovers and art students.
Projecto Cartón
Alys Longley and her colleagues’ workshop, language is an intangible bridge bounced across translations in French, English and Spanish, and invited participants to co-create through distance, scores, and experimental documentation with a common and versatile material: cardboard. Longley described the material as “both equalizing and accessible.” The cardboard brought about practical and poetic reflections about packaging, global shipping, temporality, social unrest, touch, housing and insulation for people without permanent homes, and much more.

Research
Alys Longley's research is defined by a series of artistic research projects exploring expanded approaches to writing, documentation, transdisciplinary collaboration, and ecological thinking. Core differentiations in her work include an orientation with the Global South, drawing on located practices connecting Aotearoa and Latin America, and a focus on methodology, which has led to publications in a number of internationally influential textbooks and publications that demonstrate her significant contribution to the disciplines of artistic research, creative pedagogy and transdisciplinary research
Selected Works
Virtual Projects
A Precarious Body of Tilting Maps & Migrant Constellations
Social & Immersive Online Art Installation and Virtual Event Space
a tilting body of precarious maps is an immersive social experience in collaboration with the New York & New Zealand based collective DOTDOT and the project Mapeo De Bordes Porosos – an ongoing project led by New Zealand based artist Alys Longley with Chilean artists Máximo Corvalán-Pincheira and Macarena Campbell-Parra, in collaboration with over 50 artists from all continents of the world.
It is a curated journey through a series of immersive worlds, each grown from an artist-map and developed into new fangled interactive, three dimensional, sonic and relational properties. This project folds together digital gaming with contemporary art, with maps made as part of the exhibition Beberemos El Vino Nuevo Juntos / Let us Drink the New Wine Together. We are evading the border closures of 2020-2021 to find ways for artists to dwell and rewrite our shared world together.

Mistranslation Laboratory
Mistranslation Laboratory is an intimate interactive performance work that was performed at set times over four days of The Performance Arcade 2017, creating miniature performances for (and with) audiences of around ten people at a time. It was then performed as part of the Sur Sur group show at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chile, and in Lecture Demonstration format at conferences in the Azores, and in Lisbon, Portugal.

Radio Strainer
Radio Strainer is an interdisciplinary performance research project sited in choreographic practice, which pivots around the movement of ideas between forms and languages and moments in a more-than-human world. In which translation – or more accurately mis- translation – forms both content and method.
