Intervention/Resurrection: Intergenerational Activations of La Cueca Sola

This collaborative "Curatorial Dream" explores curatorial tactics that enable a deep engagement with traumatic history, performance art repertoires, activist embodiments, and innovative display mechanisms. The authors focus on the history of the "Cueca Sola" a dance intervention performed originally by the widows of the disappeared in Chile, and how this symbolic act became a cornerstone of contemporary performance art interventions. Furthermore the authors discuss how such repertoires can be activated within the context of the museum and propose a critical intergenerational engagement that forefronts performative actions and their traces.  The imagined site for this exhibition is the Salvador Allende Museum in Chile. Proposed artists and activists featured in this imagined exhibition include: Las viudas del D.D.H.H (Widows of the Disappeared), Las Yeguas del Apocalipsis (Mares of the Apocalypse), Carola Jerez, Cheto Castellano, amongst others.
