(Colombia/Chile/Toronto), Arlan Londoño (Colombia/Toronto), Ivan Navarro (Chile/New York), and
Marcos Ramirez ERRE (Mexico).
Through video, installation, sculpture and performance, the venue has been transformed into a ‘homeland’ that
captivates the essence of belonging and exclusion, survival and nostalgia, rejection and empowerment.
Without the ability to escape the patriotic undertone ‘homeland’ carries, the artist in-turn
pronounces its innate inability to foster ownership and its ambiguous sense of security.
The Allende Arts Festival, was established to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the military coup in
Chile on Sept. 11, 1973. It promotes the work of Latin American artists in Canada.
