Iterations ~ Interventions
More Love Letters I have realised that the Love Letter format is on itself great for gathering feedback/ evidence from stakeholders. But it can also be interesting to explore and play with its possibilities beyond that. • I asked specifically Gen Z Latam diaspora idividuals to participate in the Love Letter exercise.• I got in… Continue reading Iterations ~ Interventions

‘Canta, lastimada mía…’– Cervantes aunque es tarde, es noche,y tú no puedes. Canta como si no pasara nada. Nada pasa. – Alejandra Pizarnik (1) I have been feeling quite confused lately.

[1] Shortcut for Latin-American. I was initially interested in targeting Capitalism, Colonialism and Patriarchy, but during the summer I realised that these are too broad of constructions to reach any concrete conclusion, probably ever.

I find this dangerous, because there is an underlying association of love with “the feminine”, exposing how the art world is shaped… Continue reading En Defensa de un Arte Mestizo (In Defense of a Mestizo Art)
