Mignolo notes: ‘Benvenuto Chavajay is a Mayan/Guatemalan visual artist or “artisto Mayo” (he said, because Mayan speakers have difficulties in pronouncing the Castilian “a”). If asked, he would possibly answer – with a certain degree of sarcasm – that he is more of a chunchero (slang for makers of useless objects) than an artist.’ The Art of Gentrification: The Lisbon Version– Ana Teixeira Pinto Installation view, Grada Kilomba, ‘Secrets to Tell’, MAAT, Lisbon, 2017.
