The work she presented at the 81st Whitney Biennial, Mojo’q que b’ixan ri ixkanulab’/Antes de que los volcanes canten/Before the Volcanoes Sing (2022), examines the translation and re-signification of linguistic forms within the Maya diaspora, tracing the movement of the Maya peoples and their cultural objects across various spaces and temporalities. The film features Maya artist Tohil Fidel Brito Bernal, filmed in the John Sowden House in Los Angeles, an architectural example of the “Mayan Revival” style by Frank Lloyd Wright Jr., and K’iche’ Kaqchiquel poet Rosa Chávez, filmed among the vernacular architecture of her community in the western highlands of Guatemala. The sounds of 3D printed replicas of Maya wind instruments echo throughout the film. The creation of these replicas, born from the obstacles encountered in using original pieces preserved in pre-Columbian museum collections, symbolically points to the gaps produced by acts of dislocation, and the possibility of alternative space-time configurations between past and present.
