- Summary:
- The Pre-Columbian rock art of Alero Taira not only through photographs, but also in its geographic context, embedded in the majestic desert landscape, within the deep furrow of the Loa River of the Atacama desert(Chile). "The exhibition spotlights the testimonies offered by the Comunidad Indígena Atacameña Taira about their territory, the surrounding landscape, and the rock art on display. We thank the Community for collaborating on this initiative with the curatorial team and for allowing usa glimpse into their collective memory and traditional knowledge."--Page 5.
