Ch'ixifuturism. Architecture by Freddy Mamani, photographs by Florencia Blanco.

A significant part of Florencia Blanco's photographic work arises from her identification with the Andean region of northwest Argentina and western Bolivia. This exhibition brings together an important selection of images from her series A Form of Her Own, about Freddy Mamani's cholets in the city of El Alto, and Alasita, about the miniatures that represent wishes to be fulfilled and have their annual fair every January in La Paz and other Bolivian cities.

A set of works by five artists from Bolivia (Narda Alvarado, Iván Cáceres, Cristina Collazos, Miguel Hilari, and Claudia Joskowicz) and Ecuador (Tin Ayala) create counterpoints to Blanco's photos, addressing themes such as the deterioration of rural areas due to urban expansion, the reformulation of community structures, historical conflicts like the Gas War, or the materialism of altiplano magic and the archaic-futuristic visions it engenders as a form of reinvention of pacha (the integrated space-time of the Quechua-Aymara episteme).
