This text analyzes the exhibition Becoming Earth by artist Ursula Biemann, presented in 2024 at the Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (University Museum of Contemporary Art of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, MUAC-UNAM). The exhibition is framed within a type of artistic practice developed from an ethnographic and ecological perspective. Extractivism serves as the catalyst topic in Biemann’s work, which bears witness to -or more accurately, responds to- the destructive impact it leaves across various geographies. Her projects seek to shed light on and engage in dialogue with ways of life and thought practiced in the southern regions, fostering a polyphony of voices from communities near the Amazon rainforest. Through the convergence of digital media, documentary resources, and a poetics of language, her work weaves a network of relational ties to the territory, ties that are, in essence, the people themselves.

Palabras llave : museum exhibition; ecology; environmental crisis; narrative.
