Conspiracy theories are the new legends. In recent years this phenomenon has replaced the traditional concept of popular storytelling, reinforced by scientific pretensions in the search for truth (which is out there). Chemtrails is a curatorial project that investigates the narrative potential of contemporary art, especially in relation with popular culture. Based on the concepts of rumor and legend, and reflecting on its creation and viral dissemination, the project propose to work with Eliana Beltrán, Alejandra Avilés, Rafael Pérez Evans and Paco Chanivet, artists in residence in Hangar, in the creation of a joint project, in which their different project proposals will generate a multiform anthology of stories. It is a narrative experiment whose objective is to deepen the development of hybrid formats, both digital and analog, that will allow to delve into the relationship between art, literature and experience.
