About the Exhibition

Cuerpo, amores y saberes;

Afro-Colombian Art and Representation

Organized by the Consulate of Colombia, curated by PhD. Carlos Correa Angulo.

The exhibition ‘Cuerpo, amores y saberes; arte y representación  afrocolombianas’ (Body, love and knowledge; Afro-Colombian art and representation) brings together the work of 4 artists whose aesthetic languages comprise photography, animation, illustration and portrait intervention. The show aims to highlight healing practices and knowledge about the body, forms of collective care, amatory arts and communion with ancestors, preserved in traditional and ancestral medicine practices among Afro-Colombian communities. These expressions of knowledge also comprise ways of carrying the body and contesting notions of privilege and distinctions created in colonial times, to question them and affirm other ways of being and exist in the world. 

These types of care, the treatment of ailments and illnesses of the body and spirit, and the relationship with ancestors are manifestations of each culture's capacity to produce and preserve the knowledge that guarantees its survival. Although these modes of knowledge have often been dismissed by hegemonic knowledge, they have long proven their effectiveness in weaving community and reproducing other ways of being and living in community.

This exhibition includes artworks by Joyce Rivas Medina, Jeison Riascos (El Murcy), Wilson Borja Marroquín y Margarita Ariza Aguilar.

To learn more about this exhibition please visit Exposición | Consulado de Colombia.

Cuerpo, amores y saberes;

arte y representación afrocolombianos

Organizada por Consulado de Colombia en Boston , curaduría por el PhD. Carlos Correa Angulo

La exposición “Cuerpo, amores y saberes; arte y representación afrocolombianos" reúne el trabajo de 4 artistas cuyos lenguajes estéticos comprenden la fotografía, la animación, la ilustración y la intervención del retrato. Tiene como objetivo resaltar las prácticas de curación y los conocimientos sobre el cuerpo, las formas de cuidado colectivo, las artes amatorias y la comunión con los ancestros que se conservan en forma de prácticas de medicina tradicional y ancestral entre las comunidades afrocolombianas. Estas expresiones de conocimiento también comprenden formas de llevar el cuerpo y de disputar las nociones de privilegios y distinciones que tienen una matriz colonial, para cuestionarlas y afirmar otras formas de ser y estar en el mundo.

Esta exposición muestra que, como cada pueblo, cultural y grupo social, las y los afrocolombianos han preservado conocimientos que se transmiten de forma oral, a través de la escucha y la observación y por otras formas menos institucionales de aprendizaje. Estas formas del cuidado, el tratamiento de padecimientos y enfermedades del cuerpo y del espíritu y la relación con los ancestros son una manifestación de la capacidad que tiene cada cultura para producir y preservar los conocimientos que garantizan su sobrevivencia. Aunque estos modos de conocimiento han sido muchas veces desestimados por los saberes hegemónicos, han probado, durante mucho tiempo, su efectividad para tejer comunidad y para reproducir otras formas de ser y vivir en colectivo. 

La exposición incluye obras de Joyce Rivas Medina, Jeison Riascos (El Murcy), Wilson Borja Marroquín y Margarita Ariza Aguilar.
