"Artistic projects for social inclusion inevitably lead to a transformation in the way we see and conceive of our surroundings.” Aware of this potential, this susceptibility to change, the Japanese artist Katsuhiko Hibino will be presenting a new phase in the Turn/BIENALSUR Project. This art activity seeks to encourage people with different experiences to exchange their knowledge, and works closely with minority communities. This project was created with an eye on the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games and is currently being replicated in several different countries. For BIENALSUR 2019, Hibino will be working with the Quilmes indigenous community living in the Calchaqui valleys, to develop workshops and in-depth discussion about the ancient Quichua teachings, inviting people to exchange experiences and suggesting an ineluctable opportunity for transformation for all those involved.
