Curated by: Cuauhtémoc Medina

20 years after the project, Proa presents When Faith Moves Mountains, an emblematic work by artist Francis Alÿs, created in Lima, Peru, in 2002. The exhibition includes extensive documentation of videos, photographs, sketches, and paintings collected from the project in which a group of volunteers, equipped with shovels, attempted to move a sand dune one meter farther, using only faith and the strength of their labor.

Los incas. Más allá de un imperio

September 28th 2024 - January 2025
Organized by: Museo Mali, Lima, Peru - Fundación Proa, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Sponsored by: Tenaris - Ternium - Tecpetrol

The exhibition "The Incas. Beyond an Empire," curated and organized by the Museo de Arte de Lima (MALI) in Peru, offers a detailed look at the Inca civilization through more than 250 archaeological objects and artworks from public and private collections, many of which have never been exhibited. The Proa edition includes pieces from regions of the empire within Argentine territory, presenting the empire's boundaries, its reach, and its memory in our Andean north.

The preservation of the cultures of indigenous peoples is a tradition at Proa, which has previously presented exhibitions on Olmec culture and the Gulf of Mexico. This is the first time that Inca culture and its impact on the present are being showcased.
