Inspirada por el concepto aymara de “chi’ixi” que desarrolla la socióloga e historiadora boliviana Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui —la idea de que culturas opuestas pueden convivir sin fundirse, en una tensión productiva y complementaria—, este mural busca reflejar ese diálogo entre lo ancestral y lo contemporáneo.A través del contraste entre la figura tradicional y formas abstractas que evocan mapas digitales y territorios tecnológicos, quise hablar de esa coexistencia: la hoja de coca, los rituales, la memoria viva en un mundo que cambia._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Inspired by the Aymara concept of “chi’ixi”, as developed by Bolivian sociologist and historian Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui —the idea that opposing cultures can coexist without blending, in a productive and complementary tension—, this mural seeks to reflect that dialogue between the ancestral and the contemporary.Through the contrast between a traditional figure and abstract forms that evoke digital maps and technological landscapes, I wanted to speak about that coexistence: the coca leaf, the rituals, and the living memory in a world that is constantly changing.","author_name":"Tiny Tim","author_url":"https://streetartcities.com/users/66e9e48e-8d4c-4e20-9d6e-c86f5e9142ba","thumbnail_url":"https://streetart.media/9/9196612f-9a1c-4696-8d35-79552686e11b/1024.jpg","thumbnail_width":1024,"width":480,"height":480,"html":"","cache_age":3600}
