Edgar Calel

Edgar Calel (b. 1987) lives and works in Guatemala. He studied at the Escuela Nacional de Arte Rafael Rodríguez Padilla and works in a variety of media, exploring the complexities of the indigenous experience, as seen through the Mayan Kaqchikel cosmovision, spirituality, rituals, community practices, and beliefs, in juxtaposition with the systematic racism and exclusion that the indigenous people of Guatemala endure on a daily basis. His most recent solo exhibitions included: Ru Raxal qa Rayb’äl (The Green of Our Desire) at La Nueva Fábrica in Santa Ana, Antigua Guatemala and Ni Musmut (It’s Breezing), Bergen Kunsthall, Oslo, Norway. Calel’s works are part of the permanent collections of Rijkscolectie- National Collection of the Netherlands, Hammer Museum, Tate, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the National Gallery of Canada, Fundación TEOR/ética, MADC, and Kadist.
