As a fable that proposes an allegorical approach to the social landscape of Latin America, the project will address specific episodes of the continent’s political, economic, and social history, to explore the role that counted corpses and disappeared souls play in the world of the living, not only as victims of institutionalized violence but also as emancipatory agents at the center of new political formations; not only as the persistent memories of the past but also as the vigilant expectations of the future.
The Missing Circle will summon historical protagonists, fictional characters, tangible facts, and mythical accounts with a view to tracing the footprints left by fears and desires across different times and spaces of the continent, and seeking to reveal the connective paths between facts and places, objects and subjects, victims and perpetrators, witnesses and narrators, actors and spectators. Having established a network of international artists and collaborating institutions, the final project will provide a configuration of works, films, historical documents, and cultural objects that will describe a non-linear narrative to tell stories of the past and imagine scripts for the future. Exhibition in alliance with Kadist, Museo Amparo. Supported by Museo de Memoria de Colombia.
