The pieces which conform the exhibition “Sembrar la duda: traces about indigenous representation in Colombia”, are on their majority part of the art, archaeological and documentary collections of the Banco de la República de Colombia. Those pieces are exhibited in order to create dialogues between the thoughts, traditions and struggles of the county's past and present indigenous communities, alongside with the different ways the West have conceived their cultural and artistic productions under the scope of anthropological, political and aesthetical representation, portraying those complex encounters inside the scenery of the museum. The exhibition follows a route through different traces which invites the visitors to problematize the chronological and theleological view of the indigenous communities in the country's history, and also their place facing the estrangement in what has been produced by hegemonic notions about visuality fed by discourses inherited from colonialism. These groups of objects, images, written documents, and sounds expose altogether the tensions arisen in the middle of hegemonic places of artistic enunciation and, in that way, how to imagine decolonized possibilities of artistic practices that can take in count new lectures of the indigenous cultures roles and their protagonism in the present time.
Sembrar la duda: indicios sobre las representaciones indígenas en Colombia.
La curaduría de la exposición Sembrar la duda: indicios sobre las representaciones indígenas en Colombia propone la duda como gesto reflexivo para repensar cuestiones como la identidad, la modernidad y lo sagrado en un presente cargado de las miradas fragmentadas que impone el término arte a la producción cultural enunciada desde un país como Colombia. Las piezas que conforman la exposición, pertenecientes en su mayoría a las colecciones del Banco de la República, dialogan con el pensamiento de pueblos indígenas pasados y actuales del país y, en esa medida, son testigos de la transformación de las representaciones que ante todo buscan que los pueblos indígenas, tengan en las salas del MAMU un espacio necesario de participación activa. La muestra estará acompañada de una curaduría viva en las salas donde sucederán actos, rituales, círculos de pensamiento y ciclos de imágenes en movimiento. La muestra es un recorrido a través de seis indicios que invitan a cuestionar la línea cronológica de la historia y el distanciamiento ante lo propio que se ha producido por acoger nociones sobre la visualidad que se alimentan de discursos heredados del colonialismo. Esos indicios nos hablan también de tensiones suscitadas por los diferentes lugares de enunciación artística y las posibilidades descolonizadoras de nuevas lecturas.
