REVIEW: Mariairis Flores's review of Ibghy & Lemmens's exhibition in Artishock (in Spanish): CONVERTIRSE EN PIEDRA - Artishock Revista
Durante 2023, Ibghy y Lemmens realizaron una residencia entre Jujuy y La Rioja, durante la cual visitaron zonas de actividad minera y se reunieron con comunidades organizadas en resistencia a los efectos que estas intervenciones extractivas provocan en el ecosistema. Aunque el proyecto se sitúa territorialmente en Argentina, sus resonancias con el contexto chileno son evidentes. Las mineras hacen su negocio y constantemente buscan expandirse.
