Spheres of Fire explores the ways in which migration contributes to the imagining of communities.
In the cloister you will find a spatial installation by Antonio Jose Guzman. Pieces of fabric hang from the ceiling, with geometric patterns painted in indigo. They refer to the connection between all cultures and to history, present and future. The printing technique used is more than 4000 years old. The work explores the ways in which migration contributes to the imagining, breaking up and reshaping of communities and countries. Guzmán: “Indigo is deeply intertwined with the history of Western colonialism, the textile trade and has special ancestral powers”.
