Apr 2-18 Yescka: “Guie’dani”

En zapoteco, Guie’dani nombra a la flor que nace en el cerro:

la que crece donde parece no haber nada,

la que resiste al viento, a la tierra dura, a la ausencia.

Esta exposición parte de esa imagen.

No como metáfora frágil, sino como afirmación.

Las obras reunidas aquí brotan desde contextos donde lo impuesto intenta ordenar, borrar o domesticar. Sin embargo, como la flor, persisten. Se aferran a la memoria, al símbolo, al gesto mínimo que sobrevive y se repite hasta volverse raíz.

No hacer caso no es ignorar.

Es elegir no ceder.

En cada pieza hay una negativa silenciosa:

a desaparecer, a traducirse del todo, a volverse otra cosa para encajar.

In Zapotec, Gue’dani names the flower that is born on the hill:

The one that grows where there seems to be nothing,

The one that resists the wind, the hard land, the absence.

This exhibition starts from that image.

Not as a fragile metaphor, but as an affirmation.

The works gathered here spring from contexts where the imposed tries to order, erase or tame. However, like the flower, they persist. They cling to memory, the symbol, the minimum gesture that survives and is repeated until it becomes root.

Ignoring is not ignoring.

It is choosing not to give in.

In each piece there is a silent negative:

to disappear, to be completely translated, to become something else to fit in.
