| Description | Viviana Paredes is collaborating with MACLA to uplift Latinx Indigenous practices in response to global warming through an immersive site-specific installation featuring two large glass sculptures of the maguey plant’s stalk, the quiote, often used as an instrument. The sculptures will hang from the ceiling and emit sound, a mix of the instrument (like a digeridoo) and words in Indigenous languages of southern Mexico (Zapotec, Triqui, Mixtec, Mazatec, Chinantec, Mixé). The dark gallery which will incorporate projections of the lost languages will create a meditative and healing environment, a call to the ancestors for restorative environmental justice. |
