dreams
Francisco Huichaqueo
In this podcast, Mapuche artist, filmmaker, curator and university lecturer Francisco Huichaqueo weaves together Mapuche culture and pewma (dreams as revelation or illumination) to reflect on his work as a filmmaker and on his encounter with colonial museums and collections. From this perspective, he talks about processes of restitution and 'Mapuchisation' of these institutions: display cases become contested spaces rather than mausoleums, artefacts of memory breathe anew, official narratives are rewritten, and Mapuche spirituality once again inhabits that which colonial violence sought to deactivate.
Santiago Mostyn
In this podcast, researcher, curator and artist Santiago Mostyn moves through the conceptual meaning of the jungle and the Caribbean as both real and symbolic territories; through autobiography suspended between the micro and the macrocosmic; through the island of Grenada, Black political struggles, early childhood trauma and recurring dreams. We also discuss the close relationship between music and politics through the history of Radio Free Grenada, the multi-directional movements of diaspora, and the long 1970s in the Caribbean — from student movements to radical forms of Black political engagement.
