These paintings make reference to a tradition of southern Chile known as minga where moving houses are floated along the water from one part of the archipelago of Chiloe to another. Residents do this by tying the houses to a boat which pulls them over the water; they then use a group of oxen to pull them to their desired destination. Minga means a group effort and involves neighbours coming together to carry out the task, which often takes several days. At the back of the painting a map appears drawn on top of a gestural surface. This map corresponds to the first cartographies created of the new territories attached to southern Chile at the end of the 19th century.
