Artists: Karina Aguilera Skvirsky, Amanda Gutiérrez, Esperanza Mayobre, and Simone Couto
Curators: Se habla español (SHE) Noelia Lecue, Maria Alejandra Saenz, Andrea Valencia, Natalia Viera
¨Female Migrations¨ is a program curated by Se habla español (SHE) that invites four Latin American artists that address the female perspective of migration. The program, a series of four events that will take place at La Nacional, will present site-specific works by Karina Aguilera Skvirsky, Simone Couto, Amanda Gutiérrez, and Esperanza Mayobre.
How does the female gaze experiences migration? How is the journey of men different from the forgotten and visceral experience of migrating as a woman? Female Migrations calls attention to the historic dismissed role and view of women in this current and dire issue, through the personal experiences and artistic practices of the invited artists.
July 10th - Karina Aguilera Skvirsky. ¨The Perilous Journey of María Rosa Palacios and How to Build a Wall and Other Ruins: PAPERS.¨ Screening and live performance.
¨The Perilous Journey of María Rosa Palacios¨ is a hybrid documentary-fictional tale to pay homage to the artist’s Afro-Ecuadorian’s great grandmother’s story of migration. ¨How to build a wall and other ruins: PAPERS¨ absorbs the debates around the engineering feats of Inca architecture. The participatory performance links popular narratives concerning the persistence of pre-Columbian identity with current discourses about borders, migration, and nationhood.
