SELECTED PROJECT: MANUEL CHAVAJAY
Manuel Chavajay's work travels through various two-dimensional, installation and audiovisual formats. As a Mayan-Tz'utujil artist, he has sought in his practice to construct images, actions and objects that render poetic forms of denunciation and vindication of his culture. His personal history, like that of a large percentage of the inhabitants of Guatemala, is crossed by the violence of the armed conflict, of which he and his family were direct victims.
