Free entry, donations welcome
About
A Círculo de Palabra y Escucha in which the two halves of a soft sculptural replica of a Grandmother of Stone are rejoined through a collective weaving and sewing action, its line of reunion remaining visible. Behind it are members of the Yanakuna and Misak Misak peoples, the Citizens' Oversight Group for the Rematriation of the Lithic Heritage of the Colombian Massif, and Posmonumenta. It asks how a project presented as cultural preservation could justify breaking ancestral beings into pieces for transport, and brings memories of the Grandmothers, ongoing spiritual and territorial relationships, and calls for rematriation into dialogue. Community projection mapping with archival images and landscapes of memory accompanies the reflections on territory, memory and return.
