Cecilia Vicuсa: Seehearing the Enlightened Failure, Vicuna Cecilia

A handsomely produced overview on a long-influential and popular artist of many mediums

Since the 1960s, Chilean poet, visual artist and activist Cecilia Vicu a (born 1948) has brought a radical perspective to the relationship between art and politics through her writing and artistic creations. Vicu as work is varied and multidisciplinary, constructed through words, images, environments and a combination of languages, mediums and techniques.

This volume gathers texts by the curator Miguel A. L pez, Lucy R. Lippard, Valerie Fraser and Cecilia Vicu a herself, along with a selection of photographs and representative pieces, some published here for the first time. This selection shows Vicu as constant commitment to themes of eroticism, colonial legacies, liberation struggles, feminism, collective joy, indigenous thought and environmental destruction.
