This exhibition confronts us with the undeniable realities of our complex world. The artists presented in this exhibition utilize video, painting, and installation to explore themes of war, displacement, political injustices, and the legacies of colonialism. The artworks invite viewers to engage with uncomfortable truths and serve as tools for sparking dialogue, fostering empathy, and igniting a sense of responsibility within us.
With Flamenco dance as her base for narrative, Estefanía makes personal stories come alive on stage while preserving history and Spanish culture. Transmitting emotion with each hand movement, facial expression and dynamic foot stamp, Estefanía guides audiences through an intimate celebration of the human experience.
