Titled The Dream of Water: Quipu of Encounters Maricunga, the work is the latest in Cecilia Vicuña’s series of collective actions developed with the participation of communities and publics, in both museums and natural sites, that she has created around the world since the 1960s. Quipu comes from the Quechua word for “knot,” and this multi-phase, collaborative “quipu of encounters" will engage local artists, youth, scientists, and Indigenous water defenders in Chile and in LA in poetic and political exchanges that confront the ongoing water crises unfolding in each region.
