Activation of the work Tecnologías colectivas del sueño

INSCRIPCIONES CERRADAS

This is an invitation to a space of collective dreams, where the oneiric experience expands beyond its habitual intimacy to be lived in community. Through the relationship with medicinal plants of ritual use, the dream becomes a shared body.

The gathering, organized by the collective nomasmetaforas — composed of artist Julián Dupont and philosopher Clara Melniczuk —, proposes a session in which participants will sleep wearing masks made from plant textiles by the collective. Inside, these masks contain coca leaves and andakí (angel’s trumpet), plants linked to the medicinal practices of the indigenous peoples of Cauca and Putumayo.

During the gathering, participants will drink a coca leaf tea, put on the masks, and lie down while being guided, by Nasa elder Luis Aureliano Yonda, toward the space of dream. In this transit, they will hear the guides recite a poetic and political text that will accompany them in the descent toward a shared oneiric state.

This work is part of the show Invocando los fantasmas de la modernidad.

About the exhibition

It examines how digital technologies can open new possibilities for the presentation of cultural heritage and art in a museum context. Based on digital exhibition models of two influential European exhibitions, the show proposes a critical reflection on modernity and its narratives, exploring their echoes in the contemporary world. At its core, the digital models reinterpret the discourses of these exhibitions through the potential of current computing structures, giving rise to new avenues of analysis on postmodernism, non-modernity and extra-modernity. Building on this foundation, a group of artists investigates the influence of these ideas on forms of representation and their revisitations in our digital culture.
