Mapuche Curator Francisco Huichaqueo will deliver a presentation on non-Western approaches to museum curatorial practices.

Francisco Huichaqueo is a Mapuche filmmaker, artist, curator, and a professor at the School of Visual Arts of the University of Concepción. His films have been showcased in various Chilean and international venues, including the Mother Tongue Film Festival at the Smithsonian, ImagineNATIVE in Toronto, Museo Reina Sofía, and the 11th Berlin Biennale. His video installation, documentary film, and essay films center on his Mapuche lineage and the Mapuche worldview. He also intervenes in colonial spaces with tangible and intangible heritage, such as archaeological collections in museums within Chile and abroad.
