Join us this Friday, September 6th from 6-8 pm for the opening of Si-N-N Networks Presents - el Fin del Mundo Y Otras Cosas”(The End of the World & Other Things) featuring the works of Ramón F. Barela MFA, multi-media artist, author, performance artist, & educator. Barela’s work usually consists of installation art, video, performance and the use of a structure or container in which to tell a story as an artist journalist. As background for the installation, the artist has created a metaphorical road with white rocks. This is a reference to Sacbe, a Mayan term that literally translates to “White Road “and was used to describe the roads of rock they would erect and cover with White Limestone to mimic the Milky Way. These were considered sacred paths. There will be a collection of flat rocks available, that have been coated with limestone, to mimic the Maya roads of Sacbe. The viewer will be asked to write on the stones, what is news, true, important, climate change, disinformation, etc.? This form of engagement is of importance because it is evident that we are all being bombarded by false and true information daily. These inscribed stones will be laid out in the form of a path. Metaphorically like a ‘Sacbe Camino de Verdad’, (Sacbe Road of Truth). The artist feels that we are living in a time of inflection, a time of transition. The future seems very stark and detrimental. We are very close to losing our PLANET. WE MUST ACT NOW!! We are living in critical times of indifferences, division, and the Earth seems to be letting us know. We welcome you to contribute to the background for Barela’s installation.
