Playing Our Politics builds on previous research and aims to map the full scope of the work of Yuyachkani, Peru's most important theatre collective, with social movements. The project will identify and organise key archival materials from workshops with miners and workers, land occupation movements and theatre projects with Quechua farmers, migrants, victims of violence and women’s self-subsistence groups. The research will involve three stages: archival investigation (photographs, videos, scripts), contextual research (press archives and private collections) and fieldwork (interviews and site visits). The final outcome will be an installation/film essay that activates the archives, transforming them from historical artefacts into living documents. This project seeks to reframe archival temporality, reactivating collective memory and exploring the continued power of art as a tool for social transformation.
Tatiana Fuentes Sadowski is a Peruvian filmmaker.
