\nTo Move Across the Land: Colour Is Not Neutral<\/em>
\nCurators: Armando Perla & Michael Patten
\nLa Biennale d\u2019art contemporain autochtone (BACA), 8th edition<\/p>\n

Across many Indigenous and diasporic communities, colour has been regulated through systems of shame and aesthetic discipline. Throughout different colonial contexts around the world, Indigenous people have been marked through local slurs that cast them as excessive, vulgar, dirty, or unrefined whenever they sustain their own colour systems and refuse assimilation into whiteness. This exhibition names that refusal as a sovereign knowledge system and as continuity. Bringing together twenty-three artists working across Indigenous territories and diasporic networks spanning Abya Yala, Turtle Island, Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, S\u00e1pmi, and Yorubaland, the exhibition traces how colour operates as a living system of knowledge across distinct lineages, materials, and relations.<\/p>\n

This reframing becomes visible through practices such as making and adornment, where knowledge is produced and passed down across generations. In the work of K\u2019iche\u2019 Maya artist Jos\u00e9 Luis Fernando Morales, multicoloured jades and stones, alongside carved forms, connect matrilineal ancestral knowledge to contemporary Indigenous design. Through moving image, colour, and the sound of cicadas, M\u0101ori artist Jamie Berry creates an immersive environment that envelops a curated constellation of transnational adornment, shaped through material exchange and collaborative making across the Pacific.<\/p>\n

Across the Pacific, Tongan artist Telly Tuita\u2019s Diaspora\u2019s Children holds memory and longing through saturated palettes. This richness finds resonance in Yoruba artist Adetona Omokanye\u2019s Spiritually Fashionable series, where fashion becomes a site of spiritual and aesthetic presence. M\u0101ori artists Lissy and Rudi Robinson-Cole bring this use of colour into immersive environments grounded in lineage and spirituality.<\/p>\n

In Abya Yala, Aymara-Quechua artist Cholita Chic mobilizes colour as queer self-fashioning and visibility. Kaqchikel Maya artist Marilyn Boror Bor threads dyed fibre through cement, holding together land, contamination, and resistance. In Kuskatan\/El Salvador, Nahua-Mestizo artist Hugo Rivas works through camp and intensity to confront histories of military violence, genocide and art world complicity, while Maya-Mestizo artist Juan Jos\u00e9 Guill\u00e9n builds multicoloured collages that assert the territorial memory of the Guatemalan Pacific.<\/p>\n

Colour remains a language we continue to speak, and refuse to let disappear.<\/p>\n
