Just as Andean women weave their quipus [textile artefacts made of ropes and knots] as memorials, the Argentinean artist Tiziano Cruz takes the path back to his childhood to reconnect with his community.
Based on archival work, the piece proposes a reflection on how racial hierarchies and structures of domination operate in a world in which neoliberalism violently devastates cultural, vital and collective traces. Wayqeycuna is the last piece in the trilogy "Tres Maneras de Cantarle a una Montaña", in which the artist articulates, through a series of poetic gestures, his childhood memories of the interior of northern Argentina with political manifestos on the art market and class privilege.
