Geographies of Selves, Florecimientos Subterráneos
Solo exhibition planned as a gathering at an underground gallery. In the opening I invited people to sit on the floor and proceeded to tell them about the meanings and histories behind the works I was sharing in the space. Curated by Eliana Otta with whom we planned an exchanging of visions, reverberations, alternative epistemologies and mestizas artistic practices. A group of artists (Luis Ortiz, Sophie Utikal, Ruthie Jernbekova, and Eliana Otta) were invited to enter in dialogue with the works, and in particular with what I wrote for the final thesis of my visual arts studies: http://abschlussarbeiten.akbild.ac.at.
The open format resulted in a horizontal exchange with a generous group of people who shared their histories and what resonated with them. Works: Geographies of the Self / Roots in the Dark, (2019) Series of 13 drawings. 50 x 70 cm, 70 x 140 cm. Condor Puma Serpiente, (2018). Serie of 4 drawings. 50 x 70 cm. Anticolonial Fantasies / Territory, 2015. 50 x 70 cm. At event possible through my affective connection to Eliana Otta, who curated the exhibition, and to Alfredo Ledesma, who supported me with/in the Blutengasse off-space. June, 2019.
