Seminar description

Minga (mink'a in Quechua), "to ask for help by promising something", is a pre-Columbian tradition of community or collective volunteering for social or reciprocal purposes that can be found today in several Latin American countries.

For one week, together with Argentine artist Nicolás Rodríguez, we will explore the public space inside and outside the KHM buildings as a social landscape through artistic practices.

About the artist: Nicolás Rodríguez (1986) In his artistic work he proposes crossings on themes related to origin, time and materiality, starting from the affective and combining his own and familiar historical imaginaries, focusing on manual work as a method of exploration "My work is an exploration between materials, ideas and everyday practices. I am interested in the relationships that exist between ways of acting and thinking and the resulting consequences, as well as the meaning given in a particular context. I work with installation, object, painting, video, ceramics and research." CURRENT WORKS HERE: https://www.instagram.com/nicolasrodriguez____/
