In PUMA 2025, the city speaks. It remembers, resists, expands. This performance embodies Cusco as a living, breathing PUMA, its ancient pre-Hispanic shape still imprinted on the land, now stretched and reshaped by time. <\/strong><\/sub><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At its core lies ”Hawkaypata”, the main square of Cusco and the stomach of the PUMA. A space swollen with memory, tradition, and contradiction. In the stomach of this still and unmoving city, Santurantikuy unfolds. Originally established in the 16th century by the Catholic Church to replace Andean beliefs with Christian icons, the fair has resisted full colonization. <\/strong><\/sub><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, it is a site of friction and coexistence: where nativity figures and saints are sold beside Andean symbols, mass-produced trinkets, and sacred remnants; where belief systems merge, clash, and survive in commerce. <\/strong><\/sub><\/sup>With this abstract appropriation, I aim to bring forth and remember the fragmented relationships between Andean beliefs and globalization through a bodily vocabulary. What stays in the stomach when the body is stretched but still breathing?<\/strong><\/sup><\/sub><\/p>\n<\/div>
