2025 — GUENDAABIANI'
Xigagueta, Galería Gubidxa, Unión Hidalgo, Oaxaca, MX.
The term Guendaabiani' is translated from the Zapotec as "the being of all the light" or "the one who joins all the lights in himself." It is, at the same time, a philosophical concept and an invocation of the ancestral knowledge that inhabits bodies, voices and links between generations.
Guendaabiani' is a multidimensional celebration, reflects on the dynamics of oppression from colonial and spiritual symbolism to become an expansive device, dialogues in different phases through herbalism and indigenous worldviews to evoke fertile futures and vindicate the internal strength that is intertwined from the root within a community.
