English: The Political Body is a broad notion that has come to characterise the artistic production of many artists in Latin America since the 1960s. Often linked to performance, public actions and photography, but also to conceptual art and other more traditional media, the political use of the body, or its centrality, has emerged in response to conditions of oppression – for reasons linked to state violence, race, gender or class. Over the past ten years, exhibitions branded as agitprop, feminist or queer, have engaged with the political body as a trope of radical art that is set in conjunction with the project of decolonisation. This section proposes to deconstruct the kinds of political engagement engendered by the use of the body.
Español: El Cuerpo Político es una noción amplia que ha llegado a caracterizar la producción artística de muchos artistas en América Latina desde la década de 1960. A menudo vinculado a la performance, las acciones públicas y la fotografía, pero también al arte conceptual y otros medios más tradicionales, el uso político del cuerpo, o su centralidad, ha surgido en respuesta a condiciones de opresión, por razones vinculadas a la violencia estatal, la raza género o clase. Durante los últimos diez años, exposiciones tachadas de agitprop, feministas o queer, se han comprometido con el cuerpo político como un tropo de arte radical que, a su vez, es endémico del proyecto de descolonización. Esta sección deconstruirá los tipos de participación política engendrados por el uso del cuerpo.
Português: O Corpo Político é uma noção ampla que passou a descrever a produção artística de muitos artistas da América Latina desde a década de 1960. Frequentemente vinculado à performance, ações públicas e fotografia, mas também à arte conceitual e outros meios mais tradicionais, o uso político do corpo, ou sua centralidade, tem surgido em resposta às condições de opressão – por razões ligadas a violência do Estado, raça, gênero ou classe. Nos últimos dez anos, exposições associadas à arte politica, feminista ou queer, se engajaram com o corpo político como um tropo da arte radical que é, por sua vez, endêmica ao projeto de decolonização. Esta sessão se propõe a desconstruir os tipos de engajamento político gerados pelo uso do corpo.

En marzo, la artista mexicana Magali Lara (Ciudad de México, 1956) y la curadora Cecilia Fajardo-Hill iban a inaugurar en la galería Walden la exposición “Coraza”, una mirada retrospectiva a su carrera artística a lo largo de cuarenta años. La vulnerabilidad en Lara se remonta a su adolescencia, cuando comenzó a dibujar y escribir como una manera de doblar y desdoblar sus múltiples identidades. Este proyecto de vida ha sido profundamente íntimo, privado y complejo, sostenido por la construcción y deconstrucción de sí misma en tanto ha vivido y creado sus experiencias como mujer, artista, madre, amante, amiga y como colectividad. Artista y curadora tenían previsto una conversación pública el 20 de marzo en Malba, que finalmente debió suspenderse tras el cierre del museo y el aislamiento obligatorio por al avance del Covid-19. De manera simultánea, la directora Gabriela Rangel instalaba en el museo la nueva puesta de la Colección “Latinoamérica al Sur del Sur” situando el libro “Tijeras” (1977) de Magali Lara entre otras piezas del acervo de artistas como Lotty Rosenfeld, Mira Schendel, León Ferrari y Luis Camnitzer, que dialogan con su poética. En el marco de Malba Virtual y gracias a la iniciativa de Walden, aquí compartimos la conversación que Magali Lara y Cecilia Fajardo mantuvieron online. Se trata de una charla íntima, que propone un recorrido ilustrado por la producción de Lara desde los años 70 hasta la fecha. Caracterizada por un fuerte componente autobiográfico, su obra aborda temas como el cuerpo y la intimidad, la negociación entre lo público y lo privado, domesticidad y violencia, conceptos que se actualizan hoy bajo el prisma de la crisis global y personal causada por la pandemia.
