Migration, Landscape, and Extractivism in the Work of Latin American Women Artists
This interdisciplinary artistic research event brings together scholars, artists, and curators to explore the entangled themes of migration, memory, landscape, and extractivism in the work of Latin American women artists.
Focusing on the artistic practices of Berlin-based artists Daniela Lehmann Carrasco and Marina Camargo, the programme includes artist talks, lectures, and workshops.
The focus is on Berlin-based artists Daniela Lehmann Carrasco and Marina Camargo, whose artistic practices serve as the starting point for workshops, lectures, and discussions.
The program is complemented by contributions from international scholars and curators who offer various historical and contemporary perspectives on Latin American art.
The works of Lehmann Carrasco and Camargo deal with personal and collective memories, autoethnographic archives, colonial history, and the materiality and symbolism of maps. While Lehmann Carrasco cartographically processes family migration stories between Berlin and Santiago de Chile, Camargo's work questions the power structures of official cartography and points to the ecological consequences of resource extraction.
The program includes performative walks, workshops, artist talks, and lectures on topics such as feminist genealogies, indigenous art in contemporary art, radical education projects, and conceptual art in Latin America.
