MAPI presents “Memory of Fire”, based on Eduardo Galeano’s trilogy of the same name, on the 30th anniversary of the first edition.

The work traces the history of the Indigenous peoples of Latin America from a mythical past to the 1980s, combining historical references with details characteristic of epic poetry and devices of the essay and the novel.

The exhibition displays the original drawings made by the Argentine artist Luis Felipe Noé for a special edition published by the newspaper Página/12, and includes texts, manuscripts, photographs and covers of editions in several languages provided by the Uruguayan writer, who accompanied us in the production of the project.
