“Through our art, we can express our opinions.” Colectivo Cherani is a political and artistic initiative organized by an intergenerational group of artists: Betel Cucué, Giovanni Fabián Guerrero, Francisco Huaroco Rosas, Ariel Pañeda, and Alain Silva Guardian. As part of a 2011 political uprising by the Purépecha community of Cherán, a town located in the state of Michoacán, Mexico, Colectivo Cherani has pioneered a cultural movement that foregrounds the importance of communal justice, self-government, resistance, and the role of art and ancestral Indigenous traditions in transforming society.
In conjunction with the exhibition Hammer Projects: Colectivo Cherani (2025).
