Elysia Crampton Chuquimia: Secret Ravine (Chakana En General)

Elysia Crampton Chuquimia has worked with her brother Joshua Chuquimia Crampton on a video work featuring landscape renderings with Aimara qullqa as animated icons, set to her piece “Secret Ravine (Chakana En General).” This piece is the opening of her new album “OCORARA 2010,” released on the PAN label in May 2020, which follows intergenerational trauma, fugitives of Christian violence in a twilight called Puruma, returning to Mama Cocha, the sea that theorists call Nowhere. The album was dedicated to her friend Paul Sousa, who while incarcerated, worked years as an inmate firefighter across the Sierra Nevada of California, as well as the work of Sage LaPena and Dr. Gretel Mendizabal Nolte.
