MARIA ALEJANDRA HUICHO

TAMBOS

The region of Ayacucho was one of the most affected during the political violence and armed conflict time in Peru between the 70s and 90s. Rural Ayacucho carries a past charged with pain but also centuries of a complex Andean cosmovision where myth and reality meet.

I would like this work to shape a multi-layered evocation of the region that reflects this synthesis: exploring the sculptural of its landscapes, the juxtaposition of present and past, of loss and hope.
