I was really happy to be part of this latino-american travelling exhibition: "Triángulo, realidades angulares (Triangle, angular realities)" it's a group international contemporary art exhibition between Mexico-Cuba-Colombia with artists from each country. I have send a couple of pieces that relate to this brief I have translated for you in english (down). You can check the full event here.
TRIANGLE, ANGULAR REALITIES
How are we based in the social history we have on us? What makes us different from the rest of the world for living this political heritage? What link us socially by being mexican, cuban and colombian? In Latin America we have been characterised as diverse and multicultural individuals, with amazing natural wealth and human potentialities, at the same time we are crossing critical circumstances and moments of transformation where crucially violence is configured, injustice, repression, etc., giving way to peasants and indigenous manifestations, protest organisations and movements, guerrillas, independent action collectives, among other activities; these gestures are key areas to show a message of social reflection in contemporary art, therefore the question: What importance art has, apart from the institutional commitment, of political preference or censure to art, at the moment of sharing and showing these realities today? What deserves to be expose, to be remember and therefore to intervene in the directrices of our future?
