Guilt

(2023) Video Performance filmed by Diego Argote, 9 minutes, full HD.

This work deals with the relationships surrounding the colonization of Ngulumapu –Mapuche territory annexed to what is now Chile– and its impact on the destruction of nature.

Through her body and a written story, the artist highlights the history of dispossession that the Mapuche people have suffered at the hands of the State of Chile, by establishing a critical connection with the process of military occupation that took place between 1851 and 1883, being historically misnamed as “Pacification of Araucania’’.
