AUGUST 2018: “Forty years after it began, the twenty-first edition of the Bienal de Arte Paiz seeks to be and see beyond what could be imagined when it began. The goal is to disarticulate individualistic ideas ofart for art’s sake in order to think beyond hegemonic limits and borders. Where we think from and why we think the way we do are the questions that lead us, from a place of curatorial camaraderie, to consider how we can articulate the diverse positions that exist in Guatemala. It is a collective exercise that allows us to engage in a dialogue based on the recognition of a panorama of places and realities that let us understand the myriad ways in which others read us.” - Maya Juracán
