Multiple Contemporaneities in Peruvian Art as seen through the practices of Dora Panduro Silvano and Claudia Martinez Garay
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This major research paper explores contemporary Peruvian art through a decolonial lens to examine how memory and identity are central to histories of colonial oppression and displacement. Drawing on concepts of multiple contemporaneities, creative adaptations, and alternative modernities, I focus on the work of two contemporary Peruvian artists, Dora Panduro Silvano and Claudia Martinez Garay, to explore how each artist embeds in their practice the cultural transmission of memory as distinct sites of resistance and resilience in response to histories of colonialism and state violence. I analyse how the Andean concept of pacha (non-linear space-time) and mestiza identity are central to the hybrid qualities of Claudia Martinez Garay’s artworks, and how Amazonian Indigenous cosmologies are central to Dora Panduro Silvano's artistic practice. The paper concludes with a discussion of how my own positionality as a displaced Indigenous-Peruvian, adopted as a baby and raised in Canada, led to the themes and artists explored in this paper.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
