Edgar Calel
b. 1987, San Juan Comalapa, Guatemala · Kaqchikel Maya / Guatemalan
Edgar Calel is a Kaqchikel Maya / Guatemalan artist associated with Indigenous contemporary art. Across Performance; installation; drawing, the work investigates Kaqchikel knowledge, ritual, land and family relations articulated through performance, objects and collective protocols. Meaning develops through the relationship between process, display and lived cultural experience rather than through a single signature motif.
