On the occasion of Sandra Vásquez de la Horra’s retrospective exhibition “Soy Energía” at Haus der Kunst Munich, the artist meets her long-time companion Cecilia Vicuña. It is a meeting of two influential international voices with Chilean roots in contemporary art. The conversation brings together two artists who share a long-standing friendship and whose works forcefully address themes such as exile, memory, spirituality, indigenous cosmologies, the body and resistance.
What connects Vicuña and Vásquez de la Horra is a practice that interweaves poetry, ritual and political urgency, shaped by experiences of dictatorship, migration and the commitment to human and women’s rights. The public conversation, moderated by Jana Baumann, curator of the exhibition, marks a historic moment, a rare encounter between two artistic positions that have resonated strongly for decades.
