Case of Redress. 2015
Installation
Angulo focuses on revealing prejudices and notions of subordination prevailing in the representations of Afro-descendant communities and cultures. Through strategies of art that prevailed as part of the colonial heritage, she subverts established conventions by means of performances and readings from historical or current situations. In this installation, she reaf¬firms the essential and invisible contribution of black slavery to the development of important projects for the Eurocentric model of progress such as the scientific expeditions, specifically the Botanical Expedition of José Celestino Mutis. According to the artist, this recognition is a basic case of redress, of historic dimensions.
