Immanent Vitalities is a groundbreaking book that explores the shift in conceptions of art's materiality, from an autonomous form to an active material agent.

Through a detailed analysis of works by select artists from Venezuela, Brazil, and Western Europe, Kaira M.

Cabañas constructs a genealogy of Latin American art, questioning its supposed specificity and challenging readers to reconsider their understanding of materiality and social difference.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in modern art history, identity, power, and alienation, as it provides a trailblazing analysis of cultural expressions that will instill new perspectives on the art world.
