    Ximena Garrido-Lecca at CAN Centre d’Art Neuchâtel

    The presence on the Neuchâtel littoral of a cigarette factory established in 1942 – the first to produce the famous cowboy brand outside the United States – led artist Ximena Garrido-Lecca to focus her exhibition at CAN on the relationship between humans and the tobacco plant, particularly with regard to its ritual use from the time of the Paleolithic shamanism of the native American peoples to nowadays.
