🌾 CULTURAL BRIDGES AT ART OMI 🌾 //

Iván Navarro's This Land Is Your Land points to connections between two nations, Chile and the United States, through music and migration.

Borrowing its title from Woody Guthrie's 1940 folk song, Chilean musicians banned under Augusto Pinochet's violent dictatorship found inspiration in its lyrics as many Chileans migrated to other countries. Guthrie openly criticized the privatization of resources in the United States that he believed all should have access to, including water. However, Guthrie’s motivating tune failed to acknowledge Indigenous Nations' right to this land and their critical role in protecting clean water.

Navarro invokes the iconic form of water towers, closely associated with the skyline of New York City, a city where immigrants from around the world gather in search of a better life. Ultimately, the installation raises questions about how nations linked by colonial histories might reshape their futures. Through art, one can trace these complex cultural exchanges that official histories often overlook.
