Saturday, March 7 at 4:00 p.m.

The workshop Active Epistemologies: Creación y Crítica concludes with a screening of Mapuche cinema by Francisco Huichaqueo (Wallmapu, Chile) and a conversation with Camila Caris Seguel (Chile/Livingston, Guatemala). Huichaqueo’s practice explores the power of cinema as a means of transmitting territory and ancestral pasts, as well as a tool for advocating the restitution of ethnographic collections to their communities of origin. Through film projections—conceived as healing breaths—cast onto ancestral ceramics and within museum spaces, his work conveys an imaginary of coexistence while articulating a critique of the dominant representation of living peoples. This practice enters into dialogue with Caris Seguel’s experiences in educational collecting and community-based exhibition-making, stemming from her work as co-founder of Museo del Mundo and currently as director of the Centro de Encuentros Culturales in Livingston.

Francisco Huichaqueo is a Mapuche artist, filmmaker, and curator, as well as a professor at the School of Visual Arts at the University of Concepción. His work is characterized by a deep connection to the Mapuche worldview, centered on the recovery, repair, and empowerment of Indigenous memory and culture. Through his artistic practice, Huichaqueo seeks to challenge colonial narratives, promote cultural resistance, and strengthen the bond with land and ancestors.
