INCA Press pop-up and KIRKI QHAÑI book talk
@ inga
1740 W 18th St, Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Saturday, June 7th, from 1PM - 7PM
Come through on Saturday, June 7th to catch INCA Press’ Aeron Bergman and Alejandra Salinas while they “pop-up” with a nomadic selection of titles from the imprint’s catalog—via decolonization in Bolivia’s National Museum of Art by Max Jorge Hinderer Cruz; explorations of early capitalist expropriation of farmers from common held lands through Marx and the USDA; manuel arturo abreu orbiting “art, race, tech, and feelings;” art in neoliberalism; and much more.
At 6pm, INCA will offer a book presentation surrounding their most recent title, KIRKI QHAÑI – Container of Andean Poetics by Elvira Espejo Ayca. A collection of essays and poems/songs situating Aymara ancestrality and Andean Poetics within the ongoing decolonization project, the book is a beautiful archive of Andean traditions and a powerful call to address urgent futures. “KIRKI QHAÑI is in itself a bag of diverging moments and temporalities, a collection of innumerable voices, a container of Andean poetics.”
INCA Press publishes experimental and contemporary art books—books as art, books on art, artist’s writings, and interdisciplinary inventions. The goal of INCA Press is to support writing that emerges from visual arts but eschews traditional boundaries between categories of artmaking and discourse. INCA Press supports the experimental work of artists, philosophers, poets and others living between the academy, art, poetry, sociology, and activism. One of the main principles of INCA Press is that art and culture belong to everyone, and all people can participate. Reflecting this goal, INCA donates books to libraries, community centers, prisons, schools, and produces public lectures and workshops.
