"There are events and images that have a direct connection with the past to the point that they are mistaken as contemporary, their time has been dislocated and the apparent stability of historical linearity disappears. Through her practice, Mexican artist Wendy Cabrera Rubio renders the temporal and narrative traces in which mexcian identity transits, a history marked by the creation of a nationalism whose fixation on an indigenous past wanders in the present. This book focuses on the construction of mestizaje and the differences between a "popular" art and a "cultured" art. As the philosopher Bruno Latour would say, the relative existence of these experiences breaks the logic of a beginning and an end: No step is left to chance, contemporary existence, therefore, implies imagining other possible pasts."
