Sur del sur: arte latinoamericano reciente en contexto (en inglés)

This course proposes an introduction to Latin American Art Histories as seen from the South, taking Buenos Aires and the collections in its museums and galleries as the starting point. It will focus on different episodes of Latin American art as a way of approaching the cultural history of the continent in the 20th century. The aim of the class is to challenge traditional readings by interrogating them through contemporary debates such as the recovery of ancestral knowledges, gender, the rights of minorities, and the questioning of colonial legacies. Students are expected to read for each class and participate in visits to exhibitions at art institutions, where they will have the opportunity to interact directly with art works and engage in conversations with professionals in the field. The course requires a minimum attendance of 80% of the lectures.
