Etcétera

Formed in 1997 in Buenos Aires, Etcétera is a multidisciplinary collective composed of visual artists, poets, actors and performers. At the collective’s establishment, the founders shared their intentions of bringing art to sites of immediate social conflict— the streets— and of bringing this social conflict into arenas of cultural production, including the media and art institutions.

In 2005, Etcétera founded the International Errorist movement, a global organization that embraces error as a guiding principle and mode of resistance, blending satire, performance, and political critique to challenge systems of power through absurdity and social disruption. Historically, Etcétera’s work has been recognized for exposing human rights abuses, and is currently lauded for advocating for environmental justice, the rights of nature, environmentalism, and the rights of other species through creative activism and the production of manifestos.

Since 2007, Etcétera has been led by co-founders Loreto Garín Guzmán (Chile) and Federico Zukerfeld (Argentina). Today the collective continues to develop its activities collaboratively with other organizations and individuals, inside and outside fine arts institutions, and in the educational sector. Beside their activity in the public sphere, Etcétera has participated in numerous international exhibitions and biennials.
