About

Silencio Blanco cofounders Santiago Tobar and Dominga Gutiérrez participate as part of this daylong international symposium, which brings together practicing festival artists with scholars from many disciplines to consider the intersection of puppetry and biology, cinema, poetry, and philosophy.
