Opening: Tuesday August 1st 7pm
OTHEIWHE'NEY is a collective exhibition of Wichí art from Pilcomayo, coordinated by Verónica Ardanaz with an intercultural curatorship. It was developed by a collective of artists and poets of the Wichí people (mostly women) from the Tewok Cultural Center, in the community of Santa Victoria 2 in northern Salta. The exhibition seeks to give visibility to the native art of the most culturally diverse province of Argentina, to recognize interculturality in the field of contemporary arts and to include the gender perspective of the Wichí people.
The exhibition consists of an installation of CHUTSAJ (ancestral weaving in chaguar fibers) and IÑAT (ceramics) pieces, made by artists and poets of the Wichí people of the Pilcomayo River. Each work conveys a particular vision transmitted from mothers to daughters, based on affective ties of ancestral memory updated by the contemporary world and Mother Earth as a subject of rights and co-creator of the works.
Exhibition co-produced with Fundación Cebil and the Unión Autónoma de Comunidades Originarias del Pilcomayo (UACOP).
