A workshop and film screening as part of the exhibition “Global Entanglements in the Collections of the University of Bonn”, Global Heritage Lab @ P26.

In this session, Walther Maradiegue explores the sonic afterlives of heritagization in an indigenous Peruvian community. Focusing on a protest by Cañaris ‘comuneros’ at the government's denial of their existence and land rights, he argues that they challenge the government’s politics of recognition on a performative and sonic level by combining the dramatized performance of the 1781 execution of indigenous leader Tupac Amaru II and the ‘Danza de los Guerreros Cascabeleros’, which has been recognized as a national heritage by the state.
