4:30 PM: Film Screening - Amaru’s Tongue: Daughter
This recently commissioned film, written by Chuquimamani-Condori, shot mostly on 8mm film, with hand-drawn animation sequences and a score composed and performed by Joshua Chuquimia Crampton, enacts a ceremony for the artists’ late grandmother, Flora Tancara Quiñonez Chuquimia and details the event in stories of the artists’ family that compose part of the Aymara community, a group of indigenous nations whose territories overlap with Bolivia, Chile and Peru, and whose people live today across the globe, maintaining relations through land ties and ceremony.
The scenes of the film show Flora met by a dog, a condor and a bat, central figures in the three-year transition to death, detailing Aymara and Quechua oral traditions.
