[no title] Possibly 1976 - 2007

Editor: This collage by León Ferrari consists of various newspaper clippings related to refugees. The repetition of headlines, all focused on displacement, creates a sense of urgency. What can you tell me about the context surrounding this piece? Curator: Ferrari's work often critiques power structures and social injustices, especially within Latin America. This piece likely reflects the political turmoil and human rights abuses of the period, with people seeking refuge. The dates handwritten on the page seem to be from 1976. What does it tell you about the work's purpose and the artist's message? Editor: It suggests a commentary on the global refugee crisis, specifically related to the political climate in South America at that time. It seems like Ferrari uses the collage to draw attention to the widespread nature of displacement. Curator: Precisely. Ferrari uses found materials to amplify the voices of the marginalized, challenging viewers to confront uncomfortable realities. I find it interesting how it connects to his broader body of work critiquing institutional power. Editor: I hadn't considered that connection. Now I see how this piece fits into Ferrari's larger project of social critique and exposing injustice.
