Disappeared Quipu pairs ancient quipus from our collection with a newly commissioned installation by Cecilia Vicuña that combines monumental strands of knotted wool with a four-channel video projection. Together, these quipus of the past and present explore the nature of language and memory, the resilience of native people in the face of colonial repression, and Vicuña’s own experiences living in exile from her native Chile. Only one month left to experience Cecilia Vicuña: Disappeared Quipu. See it before it closes Nov 25. -- source link
