| Sumario: | This essay proposes a reading of the practices of artists Tau Luna Acosta, Verena Melgarejo Weinandt and Rita Ponce de León based on a cross-reference with tools and methodologies from sociology, philosophy and pedagogy by authors such as Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui, Gloria Anzaldúa, Marie Bardet and bell hooks. In order to exemplify the diverse ways in which these ideas land in the works of Acosta, Weinandt and Ponce de León, I will analyze a selection of installations, videos, drawings and workshops that allow us to understand their practice beyond the material results, where the process has more or equal relevance than the final result. Taking their own experience as migrants to other countries, I will also contemplate processes of collective memory and identity construction as themes that are problematized in different ways in their work. The goal is to show how their artistic practices materialize tools from other disciplines in order to generate transforming, healing and alliance-building experiences among the people who participate, resulting in processes that aim to generate complicity and solidarity beyond the work and its formal exhibition. |
