Description
Summary:Roberto Cabrera is a Guatemalan visual artist and social researcher who can be an exemplary case of the way in which intellectuals and artists of Our America live through exile. His critical creative activity made the power, dominated by oligarchs and the military, uneasy and endangered his life. His return to Guatemala confronted him with a problem that many of his peers have faced in other countries of our continent. He is seen as a “meteco”, that and alien, who returns to claim spaces that others have already occupied in his absence.
