Arte mapuche contemporáneo: mapuchización de muebles de diseño colonial
Abstract
Resumen** Mi producción de obra aborda las representaciones de la cultura mapuche. Tomando como eje la memoria privada, diseño, elaboro y dispongo las huellas de la historia familiar y las represento en el mobiliario doméstico. Bajo una mirada híbrida, deconstruyo muebles heredados y reparo lo que un trauma histórico viene a instalar en la comunidad. El mueble actúa como testigo de la vulnerabilidad, su medida es la escala humana y su función es una metáfora de lo cotidiano, del hogar o del espacio vital. Es un lugar que ha venido transformándose a partir de los procesos de modernización.
