Panel Discussion
Genealogías del arte latinoamericano desde la sexualidad y el género, April 26, PARC, Lima, Peru
Foro PArC 2014
Este foro propone una serie de conversaciones en torno a las colecciones, instituciones, espacios, y discursos curatoriales producidos en los últimos años. Las distintas mesas proponen pensar el rol de la investigación –y en algunos casos la experimentación– en las distintas dinámicas de producción de conocimiento en/desde América Latina, tanto para la articulación de los programas de exposiciones en los museos, la creación de plataformas independientes, el trabajo curatorial, el coleccionismo y la historia del arte. El foro intenta pensar como estas dinámicas ensayan otras formas de vinculación con el entorno y la discusión pública, así como proponen otros horizontes para la discusión y la producción del arte contemporáneo en sus respectivos contextos.
6:30 pm. Genealogías del arte latinoamericano desde la sexualidad y el género
En esta mesa se propone un diálogo en torno a cómo volver a narrar la llamada historia del arte en América Latina desde coordenadas de género, sexualidad, feminismo y disidencia sexual, a fin de revertir los relatos tradicionalmente masculinos y conservadores que nos han sido legados, y así pensar también las posibilidades de la historia del arte como un espacio de sanción disciplinar pero también como un lugar potencial de desobediencia del género.

Visual culture can take the form of political and social activism, and activism often takes on specific, and sometimes surprising, visual forms. How can we better understand forms of communication that take place under threat of war, revolution, or repression? What strategies can be deployed to transform our engagement with the built environment and broader ecologies? How do embedded social hegemonies, such as racism, figure in the larger efforts to engage with activism visually? How is our broader visual culture shaped by activist practices that circulate in public space?
Scholars, artists, and activists address these and related questions in a series of presentations, performances, and interactive projects in San Francisco, California, over the course of two days. Friday’s schedule includes panel conversations on queer tactics, environmentalism, and social-networking activism, a keynote address by artist Carlos Motta, and opportunities for audience members to participate in artist- and activist-led projects, workshops, and critical conversations on the intersections between visual culture and activism.
Saturday’s schedule includes keynote presentations by filmmaker and critic Trinh T. Minh-ha and photographer Zanele Muholi, the Annual General Meeting of the International Association for Visual Culture, and panel discussions on issues of displacement, both locally and internationally, and on the political role of visual culture in areas of conflict, war, and revolution.

Stories and coloured historical reports on sexuality and sodomy in pre-colonial South America. The indigenous inhabitants were politically, religiously and sexually subjugated by their colonisers. Pecados nefandos or horrific sins were harshly punished. Untrammelled beauty versus a coercive sexual moralism. A stimulating, three-part visual essay: Nefandus, Naufragios and La visión los vencidos.
