Cycle 'Pipazos and Jaranas: Queer Folklore and Deviant Cultures' Exhibition

The 'Dancing Escape: Dissident Memories from the Andes' exhibition examines the historical tensions within Andean folklore, portraying it both as a living tradition and a site of colonial, patriarchal, and nationalist control. Simultaneously, it serves as a space of escape where sexual, emotional, and gender dissidence expresses itself through gestures, bodies, and memories. This exhibition invites viewers to reconsider folklore not merely as static tradition but as a vibrant field of transformation, memory, and rebellion. It reveals how non-conforming identities have occupied festive, ritualistic, and community spaces across pre-Hispanic and contemporary settings.
