Daniela Tinoco
Artwork Description
"watch video: https://youtu.be/Bh6BI4c_MmE?si=cjgvuLjbwbu4glGr One of the central themes of Tinoco’s work is the entanglement of land and language, particularly as sites of contested meaning and power. Tepalcate, a video performance, draws from the Nahuatl term ""tepalcatl,"" meaning ""fragment of clay."" Nahuatl, an indigenous language historically spoken in central Mexico, particularly in regions like Cholula, Puebla, continues to be spoken by communities resisting linguistic erasure. This work illuminates the endurance of Indigenous knowledge systems and their ability to resist homogenization. In Tepalcate, Tinoco enacts a process of breaking and reforming, a gesture that embodies the resilience of cultural memory in the face of systemic suppression. The work challenges the linguistic and colonial structures that have severed Indigenous communities from their lands, urging viewers to reconsider the ways language itself becomes a battleground for self-determination."
