| Details: | In his oft-cited book Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent (1971), Eduardo Galeano traces the patterns of colonial extraction in Latin America, both literal and symbolic, from the colonial era through today. From gold to silver, quinine to rubber, countless natural resources endemic to Latin America have been extracted and transported abroad. By exploring the way that labor and raw materials have been transformed into art, this exhibition examines the asymmetric power relations between empires and colonies as they unfold across time and space.
