En la reciente Minga Multimedia de Arte y Tecnología, mMAT, organizada por la Escuela de Artes Sonoras de la UArtes, Luis Chenche compartió en el conversatorio “Cartografía del desarraigo” un artículo de la curadora francesa Margaux Knight, quien analiza su práctica artística a partir de su experiencia migrante entre Guayaquil y París. Esa vivencia es, justamente, el tema de la muestra “Entre dos tierras” que el artista inauguró en Casa del Barrio.
“Rebelde, marginal y revoltoso: entre la metáfora y el panfleto” es la exposición que resulta de un proyecto de investigación del Museo Nahim Isaías (MNI) sobre las manifestaciones contraculturales postdictadura en Guayaquil. Curada por Oswaldo Terreros, la propuesta es colectiva y reúne a destacados artistas nacionales, como nuestro rector Saidel Brito y varios docentes UArtes, así como grupos, entes y colectivos.
¿Cómo puede el cuerpo convertirse en un medio para generar conocimiento? A partir de esta interrogante, tres investigaciones artísticas individuales encontraron un espacio de convergencia a través de una experiencia performática y ritual. En el marco de la Minga Multimedia de Arte y Tecnología, mMAT, la colectiva Simpoética, integrada por las docentes y artistas visuales Ruth Cruz, Paulina Romero y Andrea Moreira, presentó la conferencia performática “Tecnobrujerías”.
