Colectivo MR Concerning Art

Colectivo MR is a creative partnership between the Peruvian artist Marina García Burgos and the Spanish art historian Ricardo Ramón Jarne. Together they create imagery that draws on the language and lineage of fine art to raise challenging issues around violence, racism, and injustice. While many of the concerns they address are common to much of the rest of the world, the context in which they create and present their work is more specifically Peruvian. Conscious that many of those who engage with fine art have an entrenched resistance to acknowledging certain types of injustice, they construct their critique within an aesthetic mise-en-scène that seeks to engage the eye of the viewer, and thence their mind and imagination, without triggering the mental censorship of denial.
