a talk by Dr. Angélica María Guadamuz Núñez
Angélica’s investigation explores the work of Panamanian artists through myth, cosmogony, and contemporary themes, providing a privileged window into the world-view of the Guna people. Central to the work are ritual practices, therapeutic chants, and spiritual figures such as the nuchus, which serve as vehicles for ancestral knowledge and cultural memory. This art bridges ancestral rituals and modern issues—such as climate change and technology—highlighting how Indigenous cosmogony and ceremonial practices continue to shape cultural identity and intercultural understanding.
