Angelica Besnier, visual artist whose critically acclaimed work focuses on the study of indigenous cultures and their landscape, particularly that of the Atacama Desert, will speak about the experiences that have nurtured her artistic process. Through extensive interviews with the Aymaras and Mapuche, Besnier’s work is informed by her encounters with these indigenous people and by her experience with the stark beauty of the landscape, expressed from a feminist perspective that translates into beautiful and haunting images.

Angelica Besnier's work is an encounter with the Ancestral and the Land and the experiences derived therefrom. In the pastel and ocher of Besnier, the presence of feminine organs are surrounded by color and immensity, reminding us that "the first beings to emerge towards the continents carried with them something essential from the sea in the soul of their bodies", and it's for that reason that all of us humans carry something of the spiritual in our glances, in our movements, in the most simple acts, in memory, and above all, in our hearts. In many of the paintings in this exhibit, one notices an extraordinary creative versatility, not only because of technique or color, but also due to the perfect and unyielding conquest of form, a space where the contemporary is confused with ancestral myths, where time and space are fused.
