The Condor and the Cannibal is a co-publication between Astiberri and the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza on the occasion of the exhibition La memoria colonial en las colecciones Thyssen-Bornemisza.

The colonial system is at the root of Western modernity and its legacy continues to affect human and geopolitical relations around the world. Europe advanced in the conquest of rights and freedoms while imposing a regime of racial domination, enslavement, appropriation of land and raw materials in the "New World".

A condor hovers over the city of Quito. A cannibal woman poses for a Dutch painter. A snake slithers down a Brazilian river. An English foreman begins the medicinal exploitation of quinine. A young Quechua sculptor introduces the avant-garde into 17th century religious imagery. The red thrush knows all the stories of the Paraguayan frontier. And so on.

Victor Coyote crosses the Dutch painters Frans Post and Albert Eckhout with the Quechua school of religious art to construct a polychrome reflection on the memory of colonialism, the power of art, natural customs, fiction and lies.
