Synopsis
The book features Laura Anderson Barbata's iconic work with stilt dancers Moko Jumbies and Zancudos for whom she creates, in collaboration with community members and traditional artisans, costumes and wearable sculptures. The resulting works challenge the notions of collaborative community art, public art, performance, sculpture and tradition. Transcommunality examines the beginning of the project in Trinidad and Tobago, and highlights the way Anderson Barbata has integrated into her work The Brooklyn Jumbies, a group of stilt dancers from the West Indies and West Africa living in Brooklyn and more recently collaborating with Los Zancudos de Zaachila from Oaxaca, Mexico. By uniting these two living traditions and working alongside them, Anderson Barbata bridges continents, cultures and communities creating astonishing work that melds contemporary art and cultural heritage practices.

Transcomunalidad examina el inicio de este proyecto en Trinidad y Tobago, y pone de relieve la forma en que Anderson Barbata ha integrado en su obra el trabajo de The Brooklyn Jumbies, un grupo de zanqueros de las Indias occidentales y África occidental que viven en Brooklyn y, más recientemente, en colaboración con Los zancudos de Zaachila de Oaxaca, México. Al unir estas dos tradiciones vivas y trabajando junto a ellos, la artista crea puentes entre continentes, culturas y comunidades elaborando un trabajo asombroso que fusiona arte contemporáneo con prácticas de patrimonio cultural.
