| Sumario: | Colectivo Fin de Un Mundo is a collective of artists that emerges in Buenos Aires during 2012. Its interventions, as defined in its declaration of principles, seek to generate “time-spaces of group expression on social issues” . With interventions in different parts of the city, they have tried to put in tension certain hegemonic historiographical readings around subjects like the Conquest of America or the Argentine independence. In this paper, I will focus particularly on their first intervention, Project 10/52, made at the 520th anniversary of the Conquest of America, and on OAMA (Organization of Friends of America), intervention done during the bicentennial of Argentine independence in July 2016. From different perspectives and aesthetics, both interventions problematize the relation between dependency and independence, while the most recent one results particularly suggestive when asotiated with the change of political sign occurred in 2015 with the assumption of Mauricio Macri as president. I will analyze the speeches articulated in both cases, the resources used and the effects and reactions of the audience, documented by the collective itself. |
