Artist talk - Rember Yahuarcani - Newcastle Contemporary Art (NCA)

Rember Yahuarcani: The myths are the rivers of memory

In this talk, artist, writer, activist, and curator Rember Yahuarcani joins curator Giuliana Borea to discuss his artistic practice and the central role that mythology plays within it. Yahuarcani will reflect on how myths serve not only as sources of his creative inspiration, but also as moral compasses, guiding future actions and shaping visions of care, responsibility, and resistance.

This conversation takes its title from a quote by Santiago Yahuarcani, which highlights the profound relationship between myths, rivers, and memory. Together, we will explore how Indigenous mythology and art can help us reimagine a more sustainable and interconnected future for the world.

The event is free to attend.
