DESCRIPTION:Conference: WORLDVIEWS: Latin American Art and the Decolonial 
 Turn\n\nJoin us for the second live session of the conference which brings
  together contributions from scholars\, curators and artists to discuss ho
 w decoloniality acts as a frame of reference in the study of Latin America
 n Art. \n\nSession Abstract: The Poetics of Abya Yala\nFor the Kuna people
  Abya Yala refers to a land of great vitality\, a blooming land. The term 
 has been widely used since the “2nd Continental Summit of Indigenous Peo
 ple and Nationalities from the Abya Yala” as a political leitmotif which
  refers to the continental land commonly known as America. In putting toge
 ther scholarly research\, artistic knowledge and community experiences\, T
 he Poetics of Abya Yala looks at the intricacies of a temporalisation of i
 ndigenous art that challenges the teleology of western art history. The pa
 nel will explore indigenous creation rooted in material culture\; from the
  complexities of textile traditions to the depths of cosmological abstract
 ion and spirituality\, defending Indigenous Contemporary Art as an interru
 ption of Neoliberal multiculturalist desire.\n\nChair: Pablo José Ramirez
  (Tate Modern)\nKeynote: Boaventura de Sousa Santos (University of Coimbra
 )\nSpeakers: Cristian Vargas Paillahueque (Universidad de Chile)\; Venuca 
 Evanán (artist)\; Lena Geuer (TU Dresden)\; Bernardo Oyarzun (artist)\; B
