Descripción de la Exposición
Active resistance invites us to immerse ourselves within an expanded environment of the Earth and its inhabitants, reflecting on our intrinsic connection with the planet.
A prominent voice in this active resistance is Olinda Silvano, an indigenous Shipibo-Konibo artist. Kené, practiced by Olinda, is more than just beautiful geometric figures, it is a network of deep meanings that speak of life, the sky, plants and rivers.
Avelino Sala, formulates social poetry through his artistic proposal and with his "Still life" he transforms that denunciation into art. Representing major oil companies as natural landscapes, his still lifes criticize large corporations with a vertical garden of logos. Preserved moss acts as a living culture that challenges corporate dominance.
Santiago Vélez urges us to recognize its importance in the context of global warming. Nature shows us the right paths and we refuse to see them. The environment is transformed and is full of possibilities and it calls us to inhabit our planet starting with our communities, taking care of our ties with the earth and caring for it.
Active Resistance challenges us to recognize our shared responsibility to the Earth, to reject the prevailing destructive model and to embrace a worldview based on collectivity, respect and connection with nature.
