In its exhibition Páro Ques̈há, the Madrid-based MEMORIA presents a dialogue between Roldán Pinedo (Yarinacocha, Peru, 1971) and Javier Silva Meinel (Lima, Peru, 1949), works by both artists that present elements from the heart of the Peruvian Amazon and the Shipibo-Conibo cosmogony. In the imaginary of this Amazonian culture, the drawings receive spirit and life when they are embodied and connected to a further cosmic language. Thus, paintings, ceramics, textiles or instruments of various kinds are considered sacred and become receptacles of spirits whose task is to watch over those who possess them.
