The result is a meditation on violence, exile, memory, and survival that lies at the heart of Cecilia Vicuña's practice. Her body of work gives form to the gradual disappearance of Andean knowledge and Indigenous traditions under the pressures of colonialism and modernity. At this threshold, Vicuña's credo takes shape: “Today's task is to arm the minds.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen Vicuña coined the term \"precarious art\" in the 1960s, she envisaged works fashioned from fragile, ephemeral materials. “Saborami” is among its most compelling realizations. Here, fragility becomes a source of strength, as the provisional and the handmade are transformed into a language of remembrance and resistance. At once militant and ritualistic, the book challenges established histories while affirming the enduring presence of Indigenous memory and culture. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehed in Devon, England, by the artist-run Beau Geste Press in an edition of just 250 handmade copies, “Saborami” was produced through mimeograph and offset printing, with each copy assembled by hand by the artist. Its modest means of production are inseparable from its meaning: the book itself embodies the precarious aesthetic that has come to define Vicuña's work. This volume remains a landmark in her career and stands among the defining artists' books of twentieth-century Latin America. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metabooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54029794083155,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1068\/8898\/6963\/files\/Vicuna.png?v=1781781415","url":"https:\/\/metabooks.art\/products\/sabor-a-mi","provider":"Metabooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
