Join us for a film screening with Mapuche visual artist, filmmaker, curator, and art history scholar Francisco Huichaqueo. Francisco will present his work Künü, which portrays the land-back struggle of 80 communities from Loncoche, between the cities of Temuco and Valdivia, in what is today known as “southern Chile.” The film explores how Mapuche lands have been occupied by a Chilean capital-based transnational forestry company, Arauco, and it follows the process through which the native communities organize themselves to reclaim their ancestral land.

The screening of the film will be followed by a Q&A moderated by Quechua Coordinator, Jesús Rivera Guzmán.

Sponsored by Penn's Center for Latin American & Latinx Studies, Center for Experimental Ethnography, Departments of Cinema & Media Studies and Spanish & Portuguese, and Wolf Humanities Center.
