NEITHER CIVILIZATION NOR BARBARISM: CULTURES IN DIALOGUE

gathering works that explore the forms of identity taken upon by the diverse ethnicity and migratory currents which conform the present reality of a global nation.

Departing from the dilemma posed in literary Latin-American classics, and one that gave birth to exclusion politics in the formation of nationalities, the showcased works attempt to gather – from diverse practices such as the fusion of languages, mediums or aesthetics – a collection of visions from diverse times and traditions that allow us to experiment on the mobility of identities not only in the continent, but globally.

The concept of hybrid cultures defined decades earlier by the theoretician Néstor García-Canclini can be observed here from the realm of contemporary art, in an exercise that not only sensitizes the memory, but also shows the extent to which artistic creation can enrich the reconstruction of collective imagination based on different modes of dialogue and inclusion.
