Tótem

Mar 20–22, 2026 · Online

While the number of disappeared people in Mexico keep rising, Totem explores the particularities and deeper roots of this type of violence, and imagines new forms of resistance and community in the movements that have emerged against it. The story of two archaeologists searching in vain for an ancient Olmec head in a murky river appears at recurring intervals, questioning the very act of documenting the absent and the invisible.
