Abstract
Internationally acclaimed Chilean artist Voluspa Jarpa has a long trajectory of working with the collective memory of multiple generations in Latin America who were raised within repressive, authoritarian regimes or suffered their ongoing consequences. Centring on several works and exhibitions such as No-History’s Library (2010–2019), Altered Views (2019) and Sindemia (2021), Alkisti Efthymiou’s interview with Jarpa focuses on the artist’s lasting engagement with archival materials and the ways—often humorous, ironic or ludic—in which they are animated and manipulated in her decolonial practice.
