Group show gathering the work of 16 contemporary artists coming from Mexico, Colombia, Portugal, Venezuela, Spain, Peru, Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil.
The social and cultural reality of what we call today Latin America is far too complex to identify it, in a simplistic manner, as an easily representable entity. Furthermore, it would be vague to claim illustrating its diversity through art. That is why this exhibition seeks to affirm the quality of a series of works by artists coming from Latin America, Spain and Portugal and at the same time to question a reductive idea of cultural homogeneity.

Therefore, we come across the possibility of finding works that are inserted in the complexity of a globalised world facing us with enormous economic and social challenges and that, at the level of “culture”, imposes, with a ruthless strength, ways of life and cultural hybrids everyday stronger.

As a result, we seek to accentuate the artistic value of the works presented and their potential to activate responses in the spectators. These artists have been chosen not as representatives of their country or a larger regional production but because of their singular and unique value.
