Installation artist, archivist, curator: the slidings of María Moreno as the creator of Células Madre

Abstract

This article focuses on the displacements that María Moreno operated between the figures of writer, curator and installation artist within the framework of Células Madre. La prensa feminista en los primeros años de la democracia (2018). Specifically, we ask about the possibilities that open up in this transit produced on archival research work, fundamental for journalism. We will analyze the equivocal position of enunciation that she builds to carry out the reorganization operation of the narrative around Argentine feminism from the democratic restoration that is configured in this interactive installation. To do this, we will specify the terms between which Moreno traces these displacements, namely: exhibition/installation, curator/conceptual artist/archon, writing/artistic performance.
