THEMATIC TOUR

“A Different Modernism: Indigenous Art in the Weltkulturen Museum”
with Dr. Eva Ch. Raabe (director, Weltkulturen Museum) 

Modernism in art stands for breaking with tradition and for an otherness or difference that initially seems shocking. In contrast, many contemporary Indigenous artists prioritise the depiction of cultural traditions. Their works exhibit a different kind of modernism, but one that – given the struggle to retain their own culture and identity – is ultimately shaped by resistance every bit as much as Western modernism. The tour traces this artistic resistance, examining works by Roldán Pinedo, Harry Pinedo, Feliciano Lana and Pablo Amaringo.
