Contemporary Milpa

Altars and Offerings: A contemporary milpa uses art strategies to talk about ecofeminism and biodiversity, highlighting the value of food as a source of life. This contemporary milpa honors life and good nutrition. The milpa, a traditional agricultural system in Mesoamerica, which involves the planting of various crops on the same plot, is a powerful symbol of the relationship between nature and humanity.

12 women artists participate in this invitation, each one with an intervened plate to sit down to the feast! The inclusion of these elements of contemporary feminism and the intervention of women artists on plates to serve the banquet adds additional layers of information and meaning.
