Presentation

Carmen Gloria Vivanco graduated in visual arts from the Catholic University of Temuco. Mercedes Nistal is an environmental engineer from the University of Valencia. Since 2014, they have been running Taller Memorias together, a haven of creation located in Padre Las Casas (Chile) where knowledge, metals, textiles, pottery, basketry and activism converge.

Resistance. This is the word that resonates in every corner of Taller Memorias' work: a mixed-race heart, a woman's body in construction and deconstruction standing up against the social context. The women resist and the memory persists in a language which makes it possible to inhabit a territory, often hostile to difference. This is how Carmen and Mercedes create: from reflections that arise from activism, art studies and a critical political look at the place where they live. Currently, they are exploring new subjects from popular art, memory, territory and feminism.
