Edgar Calel

Edgar Calel (Guatemala, 1987), works in a variety of media, exploring the complexities of the indigenous experience, as seen through the Mayan Kaqchikel cosmovision, spirituality, rituals, community practices, and beliefs, in juxtaposition with the systematic racism and exclusion that the indigenous people of Guatemala endure on a daily basis

Proyectos Ultravioleta was founded in Guatemala City in 2009 as an independent artist-run space, and has since established itself as a leading voice in contemporary art in Latin America and beyond.
