The Japanese artist Katsuhiko Hibino, together with the community Quilmes, will develop the Turn/BIENALSUR project, an exchange of original knowledge between diverse groups, the results of which will be exhibited from July 5 in an exhibition at the Museo Provincial de Bellas Artes Timoteo Navarro. Meanwhile, on July 8 there will be an activation with the participation of artists from the Hibino team, Shogo Nunoshita and Mai Sone, who, together with Alejandra Mizrahi and Paulo Vera (BIENALSUR workshops), will conduct a first workshop open to the public. In addition, ten artisans who worked on the pieces and the teachers of the schools of Amaicha whose students participated in the realization of the exhibited pieces will also be present.
Among the participants of this initiative this artistic project of social inclusion seeks to generate a transformation in the way of looking at and thinking about the surrounding world. This is a new stage of the Turn/BIENALSUR project, carried out for the first time in 2017 during the first edition of the biennial, which promotes the exchange of knowledge between people with different histories, and which will seek in this case through workshops and actions, to make the original knowledge of this community visible.
The project was initially conceived by Hibino -artist and dean of the Faculty of Arts of Tokyo, with a view to the Olympic and Paralympic Games that will take place in the Japanese capital in 2020, and is replicated in different countries over time.
The Turn project is part of the curatorial axis "Art and Social Action" of BIENALSUR, with the premise that art is one of the most effective tools for approaching diverse worlds, encouraging the exchange of views and celebrating differences.
The public can be informed about the Turn results - the works of art that arised from the team work process with members of the community - in an exhibition at the Museo Provincial de Bellas Artes Timoteo Navarro, in the city of San Miguel de Tucumán, capital of the province.
