EMBODIED TERRITORY: INDIGENOUS CONTEMPORARY ART IN ABYA YALA

EMBODIED TERRITORY presents the work of a generation of contemporary indigenous artists from Abya Yala (the South American continent) that have emerged in the past 30 years. They inform about situated and contextual cultural practices connected to forms of production and circulation with no parallel in the art world of the Americas. They also tell about the emergence of artistic practices related to the recognition of indigenous peoples due to state transformations and historical struggles that have found fertile ground in recent years. The presentation will share the work of at least a dozen of those visual producers (installation, photography, painting, sculpture, new media) featured in the book of the same title published in Spanish as Territorio Encarnado (2023).
