Wayqeycuna

Just as Andean women weave their quipus (textile artefacts made of ropes and knots) as memorials, the Argentinian artist Tiziano Cruz takes the path back to his childhood to reconnect with his community.

Based on archival work, the piece proposes a reflection on how racial hierarchies and structures of domination operate in a world in which neoliberalism violently devastates cultural, vital and collective traces.

Wayqeycuna is the last piece in the trilogy “Tres Maneras de Cantarle a una Montaña”, in which the artist articulates, through a series of poetic gestures, his childhood memories of the interior of northern Argentina with political manifestos on the art market and class privilege.

Cruz is the 2023 winner of The ANTI Festival International Prize for Live Art.

Workshop: Bread for the World (10.9.)

Bread for the World is an experience, part of Wayqeycuna, which seeks to intertwine art, territory and community, a space to explore culinary practices, such as the creation of loaves of bread to present our dead, those beings who have left this earthly plane and now inhabit the ancestral plane. This encounter explores collaborative work, attempting to erase the barrier between art and community. More information and registration for the workshop.
