The significance of a man who questions, demands, and teaches his natural rights (not those imposed by the judgments of other times and other lands), reclaims what was seized, imposed, and extracted during centuries of deceit and manipulation. The legacy of Manuel Quintín Lame's thought is manifested in questionings, demands, and teachings, mediated by the artistic, the sensitive, the reflective, and the aesthetic, from different places and ways of approaching history and understanding the present. Returning to this significance from the experience of being, as Quintín Lame explains:

Returning to this significance from the experience of being, as Quintín Lame explains:
“…Experience has two powerful walls, one visible and the other invisible, walls that have served me as powerful trenches to shield myself from my enemy's gunfire on the battlefield of fierce combat — material, civil, and moral; but for this one needs a happy and singular memory. The first wall is where all the actions thrown at man are deposited from the moment he attained the use of reason [...] The second wall is that of experience, that is, of man: what he knows and knowing how to say it when the time and season are right, because it is safer to remain silent than to speak; for the wound that is covered is never stepped on by the fly and heals quickly".
The Manuel Quintín Lame International Indigenous Salon has received, for this edition, participants from Europe, Central America, and South America. The visions that its guiding theme brings together touch sensitive chords in the recognition of origin, the universe, cosmogony, and the transculturation that emerges from indigenous identity.
The show will open on January 19 from 5:00pm to 8:00 pm and will be open to the public until February 25, 2017.
