O TEMPO DAS HUACAS (THE TIME OF THE HUACAS) is a collaborative project created by Filipa Cordeiro and Rui Mourão, which seeks to create dialogue around the exhibition of the mummified bodies of two Chancay Amerindians at the Carmo Archaeological Museum, in Lisbon, by bringing together a plurality of perspectives from artists, thinkers and museum professionals.
O TEMPO DAS HUACAS (THE TIME OF THE HUACAS) extends an invitation to listening and to the exercise of another kind of seeing, modes which are not hardened inside the traditional museum setting, and are instead able to meet the world in its complexity and unpredictability. To that end, we must first recognize the historically constructed power imbalances that permeate our day-to-day life, in order to weave new ways of relating to each other, inside and outside the museum setting.
