THIS WEEK'S GUESTS.
Comunal Taller - Mexico. Founded by Mariana Ordóñez Grajales and Jesica Amescua Carrera, Comunal is an architecture studio whose practice is deeply rooted in negotiation processes between consensus and dissent. They work against the notion of authorship as a static, artistic, and unchangeable object, viewing architecture instead as a social, collaborative, living, open, and constantly evolving process. They treat inhabitants as active subjects rather than objects of intervention. In their projects, they encourage and facilitate the participation of women—adults, youth, and children—in strategic, administrative, and construction processes, understanding the logic, performance, and collective definitions of these women and their community, while always respecting their cultural context.

Through a graphic, historical, and comparative analysis of a selection of architectural magazines that have been instrumental in disseminating the discipline and developing graphic and editorial design, this talk examines how these publications have emerged and disappeared over the last two centuries. It also explores the historical and disciplinary milestones that ensure architectural publishing remains not only a significant presence but a relevant and vital force in a fully digital era.

On Monday, May 25, the VII Arica Barroca South Andean Art Festival begins—an initiative established in 2014 to highlight the cultural identity and diversity of Arica, Parinacota, and the South American Andes. For 2020, Arica Barroca presents the theme "Sayarikuna"—Quechua for "We will rise"—to prompt questions regarding exemplary manifestations across the American continent. It invites reflection on returning to one's origins, the principles of "good living" (buen vivir) from the Andean worldview, and the practice of collectivity, reciprocity, access to information, learning, and Ayni.

The 8th edition of the project titled Cabana de Arte, by the BANGA group, features Angolan artist Thó Simões and the studio DEL MEDIO, represented by Michel Maldiny Z.G. and Mafalda Peres Couto, as guests.
