El Ahora: Conversaciones desde el encierro is understood as a space to think/reconsider/imagine, collectively, the current state of the visual arts and local contemporary artistic production in the context of the health crisis. Originally conceived as a larger series of encounters, the program began in September 2020 with closed sessions of conversation between Peruvian artists based locally and abroad, which were recorded and are now shared with the public of proyectoamil from its virtual platforms. Thus, with a speculative aim, in small groups bringing together artists from different generations and practices, they presented works and shared perceptions on how the pandemic is affecting their lives in a broader sense, including their personal lives, the dynamics within the local art scene, their economies and their expectations of productivity.
