Aki Aora's founder and curator, Sally Montes is interested in the abstraction of material or immaterial data and/or information as an agent for social change. Her work often deals with disappearing languages and researching new ways to smuggle information.
Sally Montes (1981, based in Mexico City) decided to work with the local Mayan radio as a communicational tool to create a bridge between the exhibition's events and the local Mayan community. The mobile radio stations allow visitors to experience the ephemerality of language as a poetic performative element within the installation.
