On the occasion of the exhibition Cecilia Vicuña: Dreaming Water, MALBA publishes — in collaboration with the National Museum of Fine Arts in Santiago de Chile and the Pinacoteca de São Paulo — the most comprehensive monographic book dedicated to Cecilia Vicuña's work to date. It offers an exploration of her multifaceted artistic journey comprising over 200 works of paintings, drawings, screenprints, collages, textiles, videos, photographs, installations, poetry, artist books, and performances, an oeuvre whose influence extends beyond artistic movements, embodying decolonization and ecofeminist ideals.

Curated by Miguel A. López, the volume features a main text by him in epistolary format — a letter addressed to the artist — as well as new essays by Elizabeth A. Povinelli, Catherine de Zegher, and José de Nordenflycht. It includes two texts by Vicuña on her drawings from the Palabrarmas project and the activism of the group Artists for Democracy, as well as a conversation between Vicuña, Marisol de la Cadena, and Camila Marambio.
