SYNOPSIS
Just as Andean women weave their quipus [textile artifact made of ropes and knots] as memorials, Argentine artist Tiziano Cruz goes back to his own childhood to be reunited with his community. Based on archive research, the work, that will have its premiere at MITsp, proposes a reflection on how racial hierarchies and structures of domination operate in a world in which neoliberalism violently sweeps cultural, vital and collective traits. The show is the final part of the trilogy Tres Maneras de Cantarle a una Montaña [Three Ways to Sing to a Mountain], in which the artist articulates, through a series of poetic gestures, his first memories in northern Argentina inland with political manifestos on the art market and class privilege.
