About the Item
Visual poems, the works in Vicuña’s PALABRARmas series are carefully attuned to the power of language. Many of these works incorporate wordplay, and throughout her practice, Vicuña treats words as embodied entities whose forms can be parsed to reveal subliminal meanings across a variety of languages. For the series title, Vicuña has invented the word “palabrarmas,” a fusion of “palabra” (Spanish for “word”) and “armas” (“weapon”). At the same time, “palabrarmas” also suggests an even wider range of meanings, bearing similarities, for instance, to a portmanteau of the the verb “apalabrar” (“to agree on”), and the word “más” (more).
Just as Vicuña emphasizes the capacity of words to cause violence and destruction, so she also suggests that they can be potent tools of reconciliation and understanding. Here, in Eman si pasión [Emancipation / Participation] (1974/2016), Vicuña turns her attentions to the Spanish words “emancipación” (“emancipation”) and “participación” (“participation”), and she emphasizes their etymologically related verbs “emanar” (“to emanate”) and “partir” (“to share”). With a play on words, Vicuña’s silkscreen also breaks these words down into component parts, drawing phonetic similarities to the words “si” (“if) and “pasión” (“passion”).
Another edition of this work was exhibited as part of 'Cecilia Vicuña: Spin Spin Triangulene,' at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, from May 27–September 5, 2022.

Cecilia Vicuña
Cecilia Vicuña is a Chilean artist, poet, filmmaker and activist. Her work addresses pressing concerns of the modern world, including ecological destruction, human rights and cultural homogenization. Born and raised in Santiago de Chile, she has been in exile since the early 1970s, after the military coup against elected president Salvador Allende. Her commitment to feminist forms and methodologies is considered to be a unifying theme across her diverse body of work.

In 'Sol y dar y dad' (1974/2016), Vicuña again looks to language as she considers notions of truth and community, and she extracts from “solidaridad” (Spanish for “solidarity”) the word “sol” (“sun”) and the Spanish verb “dar” (“to give”).
