Talk - Folklore and syncretism, imagining other presents
Saturday 14th November, 17:30
With Kenia Almaraz (POUSH artist), Camila Rodriguez Triana (II&I artist) and María Wills (curator), the conversation will seek to rethink folklore and syncretism beyond the categories that have historically relegated Latin American cultures to the realms of tradition and the peripheral.
Drawing on ancestral knowledge, memory, and the transformation of cultural legacies, both artists explore questions of origin and the pain of childhood exile, where ruptures and silences leave narrative gaps that mythology and fiction come to inhabit.
Within these spaces, trauma becomes entangled with imagined worlds, nourishing creative processes that reshape the autobiographical and open up possibilities for imagining other presents.
All events take place at the Maison de l’Amérique Latine ("La Sala", 3rd floor).
Hosted by MIRA art fair, and organized in collaboration with POUSH, and The Columbia Institute for Ideas and Imagination.
