Upon receiving the Tanzfonds Erbe grant, Angela Guerreiro began inviting various artists and related institutions to share materials that would be relevant to the project. The collection is representative of what the project received from these correspondences. Interviews, documents, videos, films, archives from EDDC and CNDO could be acessed during the Symposium at tanzhaus Düsseldorf from July 7th – 11th. In case of interest please enter in contact with Angela Guerreiro and be aware that documents will be available only with author agreement. The Live Legacy Collection of Materials are touring with the installation ‘going into contact_a permeable installation’ created by Dieter Heitkamp in collaboration with Angela Guerreiro. This collection was only possible with the support of Henrique Antao.
