The solo exhibition at Société centers on Andean revolutionary and Inca legends that link annihilation to return and collective resurgence. The title references Túpac Katari’s last words, translating to a promise of return and becoming many. The installation transforms the ground floor into a labyrinth with thick clay walls, broken ceramic fragments, films about immigrant survival through marriage, and mototaxi drivers organizing against government extortion. A central mural embedded in the clay wall narrates an Andean legend of death and resistance, supported by paintings and fabric scraps. Themes of love, connection, and collective organization connect historical violence to present experiences of migration and navigating harmful images of liberation.
"Exploring themes of love, connection and collective organization, Mynerva transforms Société's ground floor into a labyrinth, beginning with a broad, thick wall of clay and fragments of broken ceramics that greet visitors upon entry. An initial series of films-one on immigrant communities marrying as a survival strategy, another on Peruvian mototaxi drivers organizing in the face of government extortion-set the stage, before the space opens up, revealing a mise-en-scène of paintings, fabric scraps and a massive, central mural built into the clay wall that narrates an Andean legend of death and resistance."
