From expressions of historical memory construction – with new visual, audio-visual, sound readings and linked to new media – the processes of territorial / cultural re-appropriation, the construction of identities and imagined territories.
Taking as its starting point the tragic history of the Selknam people, originally from Isla Grande of Tierra del Fuego – the southernmost end of South America -, the exhibition alludes to the worldview, transculturation process, displacement and genocide suffered by this community through artists working in a research context and a critical production.
Selknam cielos del Infinito seeks to generate a space for encounter, reflection and dialogue, questioning the historical processes that have marginalized indigenous populations and approaching hidden themes of official history, bringing back the value of this dialogue through contemporary art.
