Maria Hoyos presented her project Memorias de azúcar (Memories of Sugar), which explores issues related to laborexploitation, ethno-racial domination,patriarchy and the control of forms of subjectivity. Through a series of pictures and reflections around her work, she shared her many ways of using art as an act on the present, analyzing, understanding and sharing history. Involving a variety of disciplines such as performance and installation, this work develops around historical and cultural issues linked to her Colombian origins, exploring the permanence of historical, cultural, social and economic inequalities in the former colonies, rooted in social and racial categorizations.
