Antiguas Sonoras
05.06.2026
description
At the heart of this exhibition are six small ceramic figures from the region around Puebla, Mexico. Known as Antiguas, they were once revered as "lords of the earth"and buried by rural communities for future generations. They were meant to bring rain, fertility, and health. Yet they were found by people who no longer knew their function. This particular relationship between generations and knowledge is madetangible at the free flow festival on several levels. Antiguas Sonoras gives the figures a new role by bringing them together with the outcomes of a fermentation workshop. Like the figures themselves, fermentation is a symbol of cyclical knowledge. With workshop and the opening of exhibition.
workshop starts at 5pm, at ASZ
victor badillo, patricia nydegger - curated by desirée hieronimus
