Responses: Art and Politics from Latin America
Collected texts of Ticio Escobar (1982-2021)
Author Ticio Escobar.
Ticio Escobar is one of the leading figures in Latin American art research and criticism. His studies pioneered a methodology for the historical interpretation of Paraguayan art that served as a model for all of Latin America and the Caribbean. This book systematizes a selection of his most representative writings from 1982 to the present, exploring a plurality of issues that revolve around Indigenous art, Paraguayan culture during the dictatorship and the democratic transition, and the role of Latin American avant-gardes within the context of global hegemonic culture. Escobar's work illuminates the region's symbolic experiences and the development of theory and criticism from a perspective situated on the periphery, one that trusts in the capacity of folk art and dissident intellectual cultures to create spaces of resistance to the logic of the global market.
