Conversations with Giuliana Vidarte, Next Curator.
In this talk, the curator addresses the analysis of a set of works that propose rethinking and intervening in historical discourses, recovering traditional knowledge and renewing it. Likewise, it seeks to make visible the artistic practices of different communities from the Amazon and the Andes, and to recognize the space to which each creator belongs, their particularities, and the fundamental connection with the context. These are proposals that highlight the tension between preserving traditional artistic knowledge and delving into experimentation and the generation of new ways of creating.
