Abstract

This article seeks to think what is the political function of mourning in the current Peruvian scenario, with the theme of armed conflict between the Peruvian government and the Shining Path, which resulted in 70,000 dead and over 15,000 missing, presenting three female symbolic interruption initiatives or poetics of mourning. By expanding the definition of what constitutes an object of art, this article describes the use of bus tickets, the assembling of a symbolic robe and the weaving of a collective scarf as spaces found by these artists to bring this issue to the ongoing debate which the Peruvian State insists in keeping it concealed.
