MUSEUMS: An Exhibition on Abstract Language and Indigenous Architecture
Whitney Museum of American Art
07.30.2018“These are not cultures frozen in time – they are very much alive. I chose Quechua because it’s the most spoken Indigenous language in the Americas with more than eight million speakers.” —Marcela Guerrero
With all the attention on the Wojnarowicz exhibition at the Whitney, don’t miss this unique exhibition curated by Marcela Guerrero, “Pacha, Llaqta, Wasichay: Indigenous Space, Modern Architecture, New Art,” which is on view through September 30, 2018. In this video, Guerrero, artists, and speakers of Quechua discuss the meaning of the Quechua words in the exhibition title, how they relate to the artworks on view, and how indigenous conceptions of space and architecture influence the seven emerging Latinx artists featured in the show.
