FUEGO ETERNO SOBERANÍAS VISUALES

Ayuujk (Mixe), Nahua, Maya-Ch’ol, Ñuu Savi (Mixtec), Otomí, Maya-Kaqchikel, P’urhépecha, Diidxazà, Maya-Tsotsil, Zapotec, and Sarhua are but a few of the ancestral lineages that collide in Fuego Eterno: Soberanías Visuales. This project brings together the knowledge and aesthetic achievements of individuals Whose ancestral lineage predates Spanish colonialism and who center millennia of inherited epistemologies within their contemporary practices. Fuego Eterno: Soberanías Visuales aesthetically departs from a critical interrogation of nation and citizenship as a concrete hope to create sovereign solidarities. At the height of the Spanish Empire, it colonized over thirty-five modern nations. Fuego Eterno: Soberanías Visuales unites them to blur the boundaries of settler colonialism by bringing together artists and scholars from the contemporary nations of México, United States, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Peru, Bolivia, Philippines, Chile, Jamaica, Ecuador, Venezuela, Equatorial Guinea, and many others in an effort to shift toward a new paradigm of interdisciplinary scholarship that transcends borders, linguistics, fields of study, geographical segregation, and extractive colonial epistemologies, methodologies and knowledge making approaches.
