Artist Noé Martínez questions and heals part of the country’s colonial and slavery history
Jul 17, 2024
Noé Martínez’s artistic practice focuses on the legacy of indigenous peoples and colonial history to make visible social problems of contemporary Mexico. Language, identity, the process of colonization in the 16th century, the processes of struggle and vindication of indigenous communities are recurring themes in his work.
Based on ethnographic research, field work, the study of different bibliographic and documentary sources, as well as his own family history, Martínez generates bodies of work that propose critical views on the interpretation of the past and the construction of the present.
At its center, his practice is marked by the question of how identity and history are constructed, and operates a vision that moves against the current of official discourses that reveals the strength and political potential of memory. For Martínez, the body is a container through which the political potential of language, both verbal and visual, can function as a decolonial practice.
