Fuego Eterno: Soberanías Visuales aesthetically departs from a critical interrogation of nation and citizenship as concrete hope to create sovereign solidarities. This project collides the knowledge and aesthetic achievements of individuals whose ancestral lineage predates Spanish colonialism and who center millennia of inherited epistemologies from their lineages within their bodies of work such as but not limited to Ayuujk (Mixe), Nahua, Ñuu Savi (Mixtec), Otomí, P’urhépecha, Diidxazà, Maya-Kaqchikel, Ch’ol, Tsotsil, Zapotec, and Sarhua. This project aesthetically blurs the boundaries of settler colonialism by bringing together artists and scholars from México, United States, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Peru, Bolivia, Philippines, Chile, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Equatorial Guinea to shift toward a new paradigm of interdisciplinary research which transcends borders, fields of study, linguistics, and extractive colonial methodologies and epistemologies.
