Precarious & the Quipu

Lecture by Cecilia Vicuña with an introduction by Oskar Arnorsson. Oskar Arnorsson and Dariel Cobb will moderate the conversation.


Artist-poet Cecilia Vicuña created the concept of Precarious Art in Chile in 1966, an early response to the ecological crisis. Her improvisatory performances emphasize indigenous cultural memory and the collective nature of action to bring forth justice, balance, and world transformation. Vicuña is the author of 27 books.

Organized by the MS in Advanced Architectural Design program as part of their Arguments Lecture Series.
