Eclipse of Kreeh: Selk'nam Archive
Upcoming Events
As the exhibition unfolds at Bardo Projektraum, the installation expands beyond memory into a series of activations. These encounters open the Selk’nam Archive as a space for presence, collective practice, and reflection. The program invites visitors to move through the work together: approaching memory not as a fixed narrative, but as a living process.Jan 22 | 18:00 – 21:30 Opening / Vernissage + PerfoJan 28 | 17:00 – 19:00 Open Table / GatheringFeb 01 | 14:00 – 16:00 Workshop: Skinsight: la piel adentro. Skinsight proposes working with the body as a surface of perception, memory, and inscription, moving from individual experience toward a shared cartography made through textile gestures, attention, and presence.The workshop unfolds as a collective action where hands, threads, and territory meet. The resulting piece will remain on view as part of the exhibition, continuing to grow as a living archive.Limited capacity.Feb 06 | 17:00 – 21:30 Guided Tour (5pm) & Finissage
THE PROJECT’S THESIS
The living archive: memory, alliance and existence
Eclipse of Kreeh proposes an archaeological journey through memory: a living archive where history is reconstructed from fragments, silences, and the gestures of those who survived the extermination.The visitor becomes an active part of the narrative—detective, archaeologist, accomplice—confronting the question of who narrates, from where, and with what tools. The installation interlaces analog and digital technologies to materialize the displacement between times and bodies, and to reactivate the feminist alliance that Anne Chapman, Ángela Loij, and Lola Kiepja traced to preserve a cosmovision in danger of extinction.
