SARA FLORES – BAKISH MAI
2025-08-11‘Bakish Mai’ presents the recent work of Peruvian artist and activist Sara Flores: a new film and a series of patterned, abstract paintings. Through these works, Flores offers conceptual representations of Shipibo-Konibo ancestral knowledge – mappings of the Amazonian cosmos and histories made visible on the painted surface.
The exhibition’s title, which is also the name of the school co-founded by Flores in the Peruvian Amazon, translates loosely to ‘Land of Yesterday and Tomorrow’. The phrase speaks to a circular idea of time in which ancestral pasts shape the future, as well as the continued resonance of Indigenous epistemologies within a politics of land, life and futurity.’
