Just as Andean women weave their quipus [textile artefacts made of ropes and knots] as memorials, the Argentinean artist Tiziano Cruz takes the path back to his childhood to reconnect with his community.

Based on archival work, the piece proposes a reflection on how racial hierarchies and structures of domination operate in a world in which neoliberalism violently devastates cultural, vital, and collective traces.

Wayqeycuna is the last piece in the trilogy "Tres Maneras de Cantarle a una Montaña", in which the artist articulates, through a series of poetic gestures, his childhood memories of the interior of northern Argentina with political manifestos on the art market and class privilege.

WORKSHOP "Bread for the world"

workshop that is part of Wayqeycuna, which seeks to intertwine art, territory, and community. This workshop provides a space to explore Andean practices, such as creating bread to honor our dead—those who have left the earthly plane and now inhabit the ancestral realm. The breads made will also be integrated into the stage performance. The workshop promotes collaborative work, aiming to bridge the gap between art and community. Tiziano will immerse himself in this ancient practice to help us reimagine contemporary societies. There is no age limit or prior knowledge required, and everyone is invited to participate in this experience, where the bread offerings become a key element of the Wayqeycuna show.
