As a manifestation that unites art with the historical memory of the peoples, Central America will open a space to reflect on the need for social expression through visual art. From disciplines such as painting, photography, dance or theater, the cultural expression of native peoples will be addressed.
In the conversation held in Comalapa, Chimaltenango, art will be reflected as a space of memory, identity and cultural resistance of the original peoples.
The organization details that each speaker of the dialogue will share their experience about visual and narrative languages that they have used to express their visions of the world, their relationship with the history and challenges of contemporaneity.
The event will bring together leading artists and thinkers from Guatemala, Mexico and Peru, such as David Díaz Gonzales, Nadia López García, Ángel Poyón and Fernando Poyón, who will talk and celebrate the creativity of the original peoples and the power of collective memory in the processes of cultural transformation.
