Juliana Góngora
Lengüitas sagradas (Blessed Little Tongues) by Juliana Góngora is the result of a careful creative job between Juliana Góngora and the Koreguaje community and their workshop Masipai. During several months, the artist and the community leaders Juven Piranga and Yinela Piranga kept an essential communication to materialize one hundred miniature bags, knitted with cumare and containing tiger chocho and rattle seeds inside. Each ‘little tongue’ has been knitted using the colors that identify the clans that form the artisans of the Masipai group (wise people). The members of this community have received, from their ancestors, the idea for these dialogues. In their workshop they made the hundred ‘little tongues’, which symbolize the sacred values of gestures, sounds, and biologic and metaphorical actions that enable the tongue as an organ and also as an ancestral element of orality. The work gathers the concerns of Góngora and the community in regards to the complex and accelerated ways the contemporary world communicates and, above all, the absence of vital sense contained in the dominant discourses.
Juliana Góngora describes herself as an observer of the moss between the bricks and the tiny powers. She works with primitive and organic materials: earth, salt, spider threads, sand grains, stones, glass and collects sculptural conditions: strength, subtlety, press, wait, suspend, moisten. As an artist, she calls for a material consciousness and asserts that as human beings we must begin to describe more our daily actions instead of exposing our power speeches. She investigates the use of the soil in traditional construction methods such as bahareque and the stepped wall. In an increasingly complex way, she brings such materials and techniques to sculptural exploration.
