Abstract: El conflicto armado interno peruano produjo un conjunto de memorias que aún continúan en disputa. Una primera narrativa totalizadora intentó ser el Informe Final de la CVR, aunque distintas narrativas políticas comenzaron a cuestionar y a disputar su condición de “verdad”. Pero los protagonistas del conflicto, desde mucho antes, también habían generado distintas memorias y narrativas visuales más allá del canon político y estético oficial. La ponencia intenta rastrear algunas de esas narrativas y contra estéticas visuales, sobre todo desde el arte popular y la historieta, que presentan nuevos contenidos de verdad. También se presenta el caso de RUPAY historieta de creación colectiva que en su propia narrativa visual usó elementos de esas diversas y disidentes memorias políticas y visuales.

He has published fiction and poetry books and also a graphic novel, “Rupay,” that was possible because of a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. He is very active in the art scene where he has curated the Amazonic art and chicha art expositions. Alfredo was part of the 2015 Smithsonian Folklife Festival dedicated to Peru, with a group of Amazonic and chicha artists and musicians. Additionally, he plays Amazonic and chicha music under the name of DJ SABROSO. He is the author of YAWAR CHICHA: Los ríos profundos de la música tropical peruana (Lima, 2022).
