Cecilia Vicuña – El glaciar ido (Il ghiacciaio scomparso)

Cecilia Vicuña – El glaciar ido (The Lost Glacier) is the artist's first solo exhibition in an Italian museum. Feminist and ecological, her thinking focuses on issues related to the defence of democracy, freedom of expression and decolonial practices aimed at protecting the cultural heritage of indigenous peoples.   Performance, poetry, drawing, painting, video, minimal or monumental installations make up her artistic universe. The concept of precariousness informs Vicuña's art, which, since its inception in the 1960s, has coined the definition of “Precarious Art”.   The exhibition consists of a new commission created by Vicuña for the Manica Lunga, inspired by the human and geological history of the area. The exhibition will include a focus on the artist's poetic production and video works, bringing images, sounds and songs that have been an integral part of his practice since his debut to the project.
