“CEDICIÓN” BY ALFREDO COLOMA: AN EPISTEMOLOGICAL INTERVENTION IN PLURINATIONAL BOLIVIA

“From a distance (while living in Europe), I saw another Bolivia through the ways it was (self-)represented on social media and in the press, and I consumed images produced in the country that did not fall within the sphere of ‘culture,’ yet in my view revealed a much richer complexity. The Cedición projects emerged from these collections of images, or from texts and representations that were not official, so to speak.” (Coloma, 2025).
