This talk centers on two collective sound art practices of which Ariel Bustamante is a part of in Karukinka (Tierra del Fuego, Chile) and the Collasuyo, the shared desert of Bolivia and Chile. Over years of collaboration with members of the Uru-Chipayan nation in the Collasuyo and members of the Selk'nam nation from the far southern lands of South America, they have developed a creative practice around different spiritual technologies to affiliate with the non-human, including wind-people and peatlands.
The talk examines mobilization by the mothers of victims of state violence in Latin America. It develops the concept of resilient citizenship to elucidate how individuals vulnerable to the negation of citizenship and victims of state-induced trauma challenge the state socially and politically.
