Ishír: Living Memories from Paraguay
Pop-up show pairing Guido Boggiani's c.1900 photographs and collection with the voices of today's Ishír (Chamacoco) people of Paraguay.
Περισσότερα: Βιέννη
When the Ishír artist Salmi Lopez Balbuena saw the feather objects in the Weltmuseum's stores, she "didn't know whether to laugh or cry with joy". They had been collected before 1901 by Guido Boggiani, an Italian landscape painter who lived among her ancestors in Paraguay's Gran Chaco, set off there again in October 1901 and never came back.
About 35 of his objects and photographs fill this pop-up on the mezzanine: headdresses of anteater spines and feathers, bags of bromeliad fibre, hunting gear and a mask costume. You look at a headdress made before 1901, then at a 2026 painting by the woman it moved. Around them are the voices of today's Ishír, about 1,500 people whose forest is being cleared for soya, including an 11-year-old who paints so the culture isn't lost.
It's small, so come for that exchange between old objects and new art rather than scale. Entry is the €16 museum ticket, under-19s are free, and Tuesdays run to 9pm.
