Francisco Huichaqueo

Francisco Huichaqueo explores the social landscape, the history, culture and world view of his people, reinventing institutional, cultural and spiritual codes. His work revolves around themes that relate to his Mapuche heritage, and it’s developed in formats like video installation, documentary films and film essays.

His audiovisual and curatorial work has been exhibited in international festivals of indigenous cinema like ImagiNative in Toronto, Canada, the Festival of Latin Cinema in Toulouse and in museums like the Museo Arqueológico and the Museo de Bellas Artes of Santiago, Chile and the National Museum of the American Indian in the USA.
