Join Guillermo Canek Garcia, independent academic, researcher and curator at UNAM (national autonomous university of mexico) for Gran Pie Podrido (Big Rotten Foot in Spanish), a talk based on research on the impact of environmental and societal abuse at the hand of PEMEX (mexican state-owned petroleum company) and illegal oil tankers in the region of Valle del Mezquital, in Central Mexico.
His approach to this complex topic is both anthropological and theoretical – Guillermo will uncover intriguing connections between the persistent violence in the region, the darker side of Prehispanic cosmologies, and Reza Negarestani’s ()hole complex, offering a unique perspective on the issue.
Guillermo Canek García is a sound & academic curator at MUAC and independent researcher. He recently published “Bosque de Cantares: Murmullos Mexicanos” (2023, GATO NEGRO EDICIONES)
