Conversation: Más Arte Más Acción
Thursday, June 23, 2022
7pm


The conversation at the Kunstverein München will reflect on MAMA’s experience in creating a ‘space to reflect’ from three vantage points: as a concept, as an artwork, and as a sustainable resource.
Más Arte Más Acción (MAMA) will discuss the idea of international residencies and exchange and the challenges faced by them in the present context of pandemics, climate and economic crises. It will also discuss how to use the resources generated by documenta 15 to activate a programme meaningful for MAMA, its ecosystem, and its new allies in Germany. At the end of the conversation MAMA will take questions from the public.
The conversation is supported by the Department of Arts and Culture of the City of Munich and salta.

About: Más Arte Más Acción is a non-profit cultural foundation founded in 2009 that generates critical thinking through art. The foundation’s base on Colombia’s Pacific Coast is the source of inspiration for artists and others who are invited to explore wide-ranging social and environmental issues. MAMA is embedded in a network of ecosystems including communities, collectives, organisations, and nature. Throughout its trajectory, MAMA has offered an artistic residency programme based on the notion of a Space to Reflect. This concept will travel to Kassel for documenta fifteen, opening spaces of reflection around a wide range of subjects that have enriched artistic practices in relation to its interests. These include climate justice and environmental rights; memory and the peace process; alternative non-capitalist ways of living in biodiverse territories; Afro-film narratives; extractivisms, among others. Installations, workshops, performances, exhibitions, open readings, talks and debates will be hosted during the 100 days of documenta fifteen.
