From my gut
From MX$0
A collective exhibition where 17 invited artists show their vision of love, from the intimate and private nature of a relationship to the painful and ephemeral nature of a breakup. Through their works, the artists address different aspects of how we relate to and connect with each other and the way we seek to feel and show love.
🖼️ Artists: Angelina Fernández, Daniel Román, Édgar MT, Evelyn Verdín, Fernando Banda, Ivan Barrera, Jorge Lozano, La Puga María, Lazzaro Rotas, Lucila Rodarte, Moydepapel, and more.
Unpublished Transits and Encounters. José Hernández-ClaireArchive
From MX$0
Guadalajara photographer José Hernández-Claire dedicated his life to showing the realities of rural Mexico through his work, addressing issues as sensitive to the national consciousness as migration, religion, and cultural identity. This exhibition showcases the hidden legacy he left behind after his death: a collection of photographs from more than a thousand rolls of film stored in his laboratory that had not seen the light of day until now.
🖼️ Artist: José Hernández-Claire
🎛️ Curator: Ricardo Guzmán
Miriam’sTheater
From MX$0
In her works, Brazilian artist Miriam Ines da Silva addresses the process of modernization of customs, Catholic rites, and the relationships of marginalized communities in Brazil in the last century. Stories that, although they took place thousands of miles away from where they are now being exhibited, still share many similarities with the stories of these groups in our city.
🖼️ Artist: Miriam Ines da Silva
🎛️ Curator: Cristiano Raimondi
Things as they are
From MX$0
This exhibition can be uncomfortable, and it is precisely that discomfort that grabs the viewer’s attention by taking familiar environments and twisting them in a very “normal” way, with ambiguous gestures, tense smiles, and cold settings that take the family as their main subject to force us to see what we would otherwise find difficult to accept.
🖼️ Artist: Juan Carlos Macías and Andrea Salcido
🎛️ Curator: Andrea Lavica
