{"product_id":"andres-pereira-paz-radio-carabuco","title":"Andrés Pereira Paz","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book documents the project \nRadio Carabuco of the Bolivian artist Andrés Pereira Paz, which he \ncreated during his residency at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin. A \npodcast (www.radiocarabuco.com) developed in collaboration with \ninternational artists, researchers, and activists forms the centerpiece \nof the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePereira Paz's critical reflections were inspired \nby José López de los Ríos's painting of a vision of hell, commissioned \nby the Catholic Church during the colonial era. Created in the Andes \ntown of Carabuco in 1664, the work is still on display at the local \nchurch. Like many paintings from that period, the Christian motif was \nbrought to Latin America by the Spanish colonial rulers to convert the \nindigenous population from paganism to Christianity and to peddle \npropaganda for Catholicism's message of salvation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe episodes of\n Pereira Paz's podcast investigate the methods and consequences of \nreligious and cultural colonialism and scrutinise various political and \nsocietal perspectives, in particular with regard to his native country \nof Bolivia. The rejection and suppression of everything that is \nperceived as 'other' is a key theme of his work, which also addresses \nthe question of whether the traditional Western idea of 'hell' has \npotentially become a symbolic place of active resistance against \npropaganda, censorship, and discrimination that should be defended as \neffectively as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DruckVerlag Kettler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32153804144723,"sku":"","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783862067848_cde336d9-1f99-41f9-a880-ad33e765f19e.jpg?v=1777206660","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/andres-pereira-paz-radio-carabuco","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
