Exhibition in Association NOEMI: Quentos Para no Dormir
Cuentos para no dormir is the exhibition organized by the Bachelor in Arts Management students of IESA Arts & Culture, with the support of the Embassy of Peru in France and in collaboration with the Association NOEMI Espace Brownstone. This exposition invites artists Violeta Quispe (Lima, 1989) and Ivana de Vivanco (Lisbon, 1989) to dialogue for the first time in the French art scene.
Recalling stories created to lull children to sleep, Cuentos para no dormir intends to do the opposite of a traditional story: chase away the sleep by encouraging to reimagine rather than interpret superficially. Significant works by both artists have been brought together, proclaiming an alternative narrative, emphasizing issues such as orality, multiculturalism, decolonial practices, and the defense of indigenous sexual minorities.
