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.
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.
The conversation also precedes the forthcoming publication Salta art Encounters, an ongoing Salta art series documenting dialogues between artists from South America and Europe-based curators. One of the upcoming volumes will feature a dialogue between Sandra Vásquez de la Horra and curator Jana Baumann.
In collaboration with Haus der Kunst.
