The artwork of Chilean contemporary artist, poet, and filmmaker Cecilia Vicuña is noted for themes of language, memory, dissolution, extinction, and exile. As a teenager, she began to point out the relevance of her work to the politics of ecological destruction, cultural homogenization, and economic disparity, particularly how such phenomena disenfranchise the already powerless. Her commitment to feminist forms and methodologies is considered a unifying theme across her diverse body of work, among which quipus, “PALABRARmas,” and precarious stand out. She conceived the concept of “precarious art” (lo precario) in the 1960s to highlight the sacred and ecological value of the small and discarded. In 1966, on the seashore of Concon, mouth of the Aconcagua river in Chile, she collected debris, shells, feathers, seeds, and small objects with which she built the first precarious objects to be erased by sea waves. This work continues even today. In 1965, she referred to the quipu (“knot” in Quechua) for the first time in her diary with the phrase “The quipu that remembers nothing,” which marks the beginning of her work around this concept and element of the Andean world that has become a constant inspiration for her work and which is also part of “lo precario.” The word precarious is derived from prayer; i.e., obtained by praying, and in Vicuña’s work, it means that art can become a prayer for the Earth. In this text, I propose revisiting Cecilia Vicuña’s concept of precarious art through the biocultural lens proposed by Chilean ecologist and philosopher Ricardo Rozzi, emphasizing the importance of making biocultural homogenization visible. Rozzi aims to deconstruct homogenization to recover inter-cultural and inter-species relationships of co-inhabitation. An appreciation of the vast biological and cultural diversity of life is essential for cultivating relationships of complementarity and reciprocity among human and other-than-human co-inhabitants. In turn, Vicuña offers creative art habits to show how art can be a practice and a form of knowledge through which we can restore our relationships with the environment and our ancestral entanglement with the land.
