PCP – Programa Cultura Política With Claudia Pacheco Araoz and Max Jorge Hinderer Cruz

Claudia Pacheco Araoz and Max Jorge Hinderer Cruz, founders of the PCP, will present the strands of thought developed in their most recent publications. The PCP – Programa Cultura Política (Political Culture Programme) invites us to analyze the idea of cultural consumption by focusing on the specific case of the Plurinational State of Bolivia and its historical-political context. A context shared with most other Latin American countries, it is characterized by the inherent diversity of its populations, especially with regard to the indigenous, native, peasant, migrant, Afro-descendant and historically marginalized urban communities that inhabit its territories. If we understand so-called cultural consumption in Latin America on the basis of the modes of production (popular, community or ancestral) of the majority of its inhabitants, German cultural criticism, English cultural studies or even the dominant Latin American cultural studies (Argentinian, Brazilian, Mexican, etc.) seem misleading, or even duplicitous.

Presented by Claudia Pacheco Araoz, Bolivian cultural agent and researcher and Max Jorge Hinderer Cruz, co-director of the Independent Studies Programme (PEI).

The activity is held in the MACBA Meier Auditorium, but you can also follow it live on the museum’s website and YouTube channel.
