Brainstorm #6 - Olivia Brunner-Gaydos

The technologies Partisia Gonzales describes in "Ceremony of Memory: The Call and Response" are the things people use to not only express themselves but also show off and practice their culture. Gonzales specifically mentions the niche birthing rituals and how this kind of ritual or technology was performed by women and they were therefor trusted with keeping this tradition and knowledge alive. The technologies used are seen again in the "Clumsy Sky" video through the practices of making and celebrating music together, as well as forming community relationships. 
Coviviencia is represented in the "Clumsy Sky" video through the musicians mixing sounds and working together as well as seen through the movement and participation of the audience. The idea of coviviencia is living life around music together which is exactly what happens in the video. The obvious I mentioned above expands to the relationships formed between people while listening to the music and the recordings they take to then share.
