At once poetry, art and activism, Vicu鎙's playful multimedia works "open up minds by opening up words"
This beautifully designed clothbound book brings together the Palabrarmas series by the Chilean-born artist, poet and activist Cecilia Vicu鎙 (born 1948). Images of these works--each a powerful juxtaposition of color, poetry and politics--appear alongside new essays and historical references chosen with the artist. Palabrarmas, a neologism that translates to "word weapons" or "word arms," imagine new ways of seeing language. Taking the form of collages, silkscreens, drawings, poems, fabric banners, cutouts, mixed-media installations and street actions, Vicu鎙's Palabarmas bring together her work in poetry, activism and visual art. Each one unpacks and deconstructs single words to reveal other words hiding within them, allowing new meanings to emerge. The artist began making these visual anagrams while in exile in London and Bogot?after the Pinochet-led coup of 1973 in Chile, and has always seen them as a form of liberation--as a way to "open up minds by opening up words," as she puts it. The Palabarmas have taken on new relevance in today's political climate, and appeared on the streets during Chile's 2019 revolution as protest signs. This book presents a range of Palabrarmas in color for the first time, with new essays by M鏮ica de la Torre, Carla Macchiavello, Cecilia Vicu鎙 and Jeanne Gerrity, and reprinted texts by Ren?Daumal, Robert Randall and Sim鏮 Rodr璲uez.
