Join us in Los Angeles for the launch and presentation of our latest issue, FAYUQUEROS, at the Vincent Price Art Museum this Saturday, October 14 from 1 - 4PM. With guest-editor Pilar Tompkins Rivas, Terremoto's founder and editor-in-chief Dorothée Dupuis and managing editor Diego Del Valle Ríos in conversation with artists Carmen Argote, Jimena Sarno y Raquel Gutiérrez, collaborators of this edition.ABOUT FAYUQUEROS:In this issue of Terremoto, we will talk about smuggling, understood as a counter hegemonic practice of dissidence and subversion often used to move information, objects and bodies through oppressive boundaries. A fayuquero, in Mexican colloquial Spanish, is a person “who is dedicated to selling the merchandise acquired through smuggling.” The real fayuca to be threaded to the mainstream in our time, beyond screens and microwaves, would not be the progressive ideals that have drowned in the slow shipwreck of the modern left? Or also, those initiatives that challenge the hegemonic order?Co-edited with Pilar Tompkins Rivas, director of the Vincent Price Art Museum in Los Angeles, through this issue we will reflect upon the historical ability of art to move away from secrecy to openly criticize reality.
