Press release
“Devenir tierra” seeks to make visible those other ways of making- world with the earth that have been suppressed or silenced under the yoke of modernity/coloniality. From indigenous, diasporic, Afro-descendant and feminist perspectives, the works gathered in the exhibition “Devenir Tierra” from heterogeneous but interconnected perspectives. One group of pieces refers to the land as a symbol of a personal and collective identity, denouncing excessive extractivism. In another group, the materiality of the land is a structural element, showing processes of co-creation between the artists and their environment. As a whole, the works make tangible the influence that the earth’s energy exerts on local artistic production and invite us to rethink our role in the construction of rooted communities of life that foreground mutual responsibility towards the planet.
