Cuerpos amerindios

Resumen del Libro

Two exhibitions that propose a dialogue from diverse perspectives around art, archaeology and the human body. The exhibition "Amerindian Bodies: Art and culture of the corporal modifications" curated by archaeologist Uribe explores the cultural, social and symbolic richness of the corporal interventions amongst the Pre-Columbian societies of Colombia. The interventions in skin, muscles, bone, hair, denture and nails, far from being superfluous, are vital in the construction of the social identity of the people. The exhibition follows the beauty ideals, religious rituals, economic activities, mythology and healing sickness capabilities as practiced in different Indian societies. The exhibition "Habeas Corpus: may you have [a] body [to exhibit]" is a collaborative curatorship between historian Jaime Borja and artist José Alejandro Restrepo. In their museographic script they define the human body as a "cultural experience and history container" and establish a dialogue of the fascination shared by the baroque and contemporary cultures on the human body alternating baroque artwork from Nueva Granada, contemporary art expressions and scientific illustrations.

Joaquín Camacho

Al producirse la crisis de la monarquía española de 1808, Estados Unidos de América era un antecedente exitoso pero excepcional. Es en tal contexto que debe situarse la experiencia revolucionaria neogranadina. De otra forma, se corre el riesgo de olvidar su carácter vanguardista o de concebir como imitación lo que en realidad fue una participación original y muy importante en un debate álgido en torno a la reforma del gobierno de las sociedades humanas. La correspondencia y escritos de Joaquín Camacho y Lago que componen este libro muestran la dificultad de la materia y dan muchas...

El coronel no tiene quien le escriba

The old colonel goes each Friday to the post office to see if his long-awaited pension has come through. He knows it will not; so does his wife who is still grieving over the death of their son the year before. The colonel has a mission: to elevate the grim routine of poverty and failure to a high mass of defiance. He does that by showing that a heart that has been broken still beats with vengeance.
