Volcanic memory and political resonance

This piece emerges from intuition and the need to establish a link between the most significant eruptive events of the Popocatépetl volcano throughout its history and the social and political events that occurred in parallel with these volcanic manifestations.

The ongoing relationship between these forces over time compels us to understand that there are no coincidences — the volcano has set the tempo of our history.

The series of textual inscriptions on plaques made of volcanic materials serves as an invitation to reflect on the ways in which historical narratives are written. At the same time, the sculptural/documentary objects become material encounters that summon a past time and form a kind of offering to the volcano.
