On Tuesday, June 27, 2023 at 2 pm CET join us on zoom platform for the online public lecture Letter to Cecilia Vicuña by Miguel A. López.
Combining the memories related to his friendship with the artist Cecilia Vicuña and the reflections on her work, this lecture introduces Vicuña’s sharp creative practice in the form of a letter addressed to the artist. Cecilia Vicuña is a poet, artist, filmmaker, and activist whose works explore language, memory, dissolution, extinction, and exile. Central to her practice are the pressing concerns of the modern world, including ecological destruction, human rights, cultural homogenization, and economic disparity. The presentation Letter to Cecilia Vicuña shares Miguel A. López’s intimate perspective on working with Vicuña over many years, as well as the impact of her visceral entanglements between words and seed, sound and thread, quipu and blood.
