Artist Primitivo Evanán Poma (Sarhua, 1944) recounts various episodes of his life, and of his community that were represented on thirty-two painted "tablas" created in the 1990s and that are part of the collection of the Museum of Art of Lima (MALI). Master Poma created the tablets during the time of violence and in the years that followed the pacification, and are one of the few pictorial manifestations of contemporary Peruvian indigenous culture which combine pre-Columbian knowledge with European techniques that reached the region as part of the evangelization process. The Piraq Kausa Kaykunapaq project seeks to make visible and denounce extreme forms of political and social violence so that justice is done. Images do not replace words. They only complement them, as in the viceregal paintingʺ --Salomón Lerner Febres, former president of the Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación.
