Disappeared Quipu is part of a decades-long exploration that often includes activations by Cecilia Vicuña, in which she moves, alone or with others, among the fibers and knotted strands of the work, linking movement, sound, and material to enact a physical relationship with the legacy embodied by the quipu. For Vicuña, each knot of her “quipus for the future” bears witness to the connective and expressive capacities of a language largely lost to history.Installation view, Cecilia Vicuña: Disappeared Quipu, Brooklyn Museum, May 18, 2018 through November 25, 2018.
