Watch artist Miriam Rudolph’s open studio here
Miriam Rudolph is part of the collaborative project ‘Collection, Mission, Colonisation: Encounters and Entangled Histories from the Chaco‘ carried out with SDCELAR. In her project, Rudolph explores the complexities of colonisation in the Chaco region in Paraguay.
I spent several months reading first-hand accounts by the missionaries, journal publications, and academic papers, publications by Mennonite settlers and scholars, as well as accounts by indigenous elders of their displacement process, in order to gather information that later informed my images and became part of the content in the form of text excerpts.
In March 2022 the artist presented an online open studio about her series of prints that now you can watch in English with Spanish subtitles.
