Please join us for an online event exploring the ideas presented in the exhibition Revisiting The Potosí Principle Archive: Histories of Art and Extraction at the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art (ISLAA). This program will feature presentations by feminist scholar Silvia Federici, artist and activist María Galindo, and filmmaker Miguel Hilari, followed by a conversation moderated by art historian Maya Wilson-Sánchez.

The event will examine The Potosí Principle Archive, a series of booklets produced by artists Alice Creischer and Andreas Siekmann between 2018 and 2020 that form the center of the exhibition. The Potosi Principle Archive gathers historical and contemporary sources, interviews, essays, poems, and artworks by scholars, writers, and artists, including Silvia Federici, María Galindo, Elvira Espejo Ayca, and Eduardo Molinari, that reflect on the practices and legacies of colonialism and extraction in Latin America.

This program will be hosted live on Zoom, and attendees will receive a link to join the event upon registering. It will be held in English, and a recording will be made available online after it concludes.

This event is organized in conjunction with Revisiting The Potosí Principle Archive: Histories of Art and Extraction, on view through February 10, 2024.
