Tania Candiani

Centecpanxiquipilli Nocheztl, La ruta de la grana cochinilla and Campo carmín

Based in Mexico City and rooted in specific geographies and territorial histories, Tania Candiani creates work in which body, land, labour and ancestral knowledge are inextricable. Her works on show for BTB25 engaged with cochineal dye’s pre-colonial origins and its transformation through colonial systems of extraction and trade, representing indigenous innovation and its global influences.
