Manji’o Cho’o – Memorias vivas de la mandioca
Exhibition and Book Launch
At Centro Cultural de Paco Urondo, Buenos Aires, Argentina
With the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) and L’institut Français Argentine.
An exhibition and publication in which art, anthropology, and storytelling intertwine to shape a living, collective memory.
Created with Germán Acosta, cacique of the Mbya Guaraní community of Tava Miri (Misiones), his wife Juliana Escobar, and anthropologists Ana Padawer, María Lucila Rodríguez Celín, and Carla Golé, the exhibition brings together photographs, field notes, and stories that trace a history of shared work over time. The book includes an introduction by James Clifford, historian and professor emeritus at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC, United States).
A space to listen to other voices, recognize the depth of community knowledge, and explore the connections between land, memory, and everyday life.
During the exhibition, a round table: Thursday, November 12, 4 PM, with the anthropologists, the cacique, and the artist. Coordinated by the Área de Vinculación Social y Convenios Internacionales of @icafilouba
