"Contemporary Dilemmas: Eternal Displacements" is an exhibition that delves into the issue of migration as a key feature of our times and its consequences, seen through the artistic lens of migrant artists from and to different parts of the world.
Through different artistic approaches ranging from installation to painting, photography and sculpture, the exhibition invites viewers to reflect on the diverse experiences and narratives of migrants, highlighting the ethical, social and political dilemmas that arise as a result of these global movements.
A reflection that brings together the works of seven artists: Houda Terjuman, Lester Rodríguez, Muriel Hasbun, Irene Clouthier, Fernando Poyón, Angel Poyón and Santiago Vélez. Artists of six nationalities, face the intricate dilemmas that surround migration and contribute, from contemporary art, a borderless light on the multifaceted impact that displacement generates on people, their interactions, their roots, their uprooting, their rupture and their ideas of the world.
Eternal mutants of mixed identities who redefine their surroundings and examine the deep emotional and cultural ramifications of leaving their origins in another land. A vivid capture of the fusion of cultures, the mixing of traditions and the emergence of new hybrid identities. All this while exploring the resilience and strength that migrants show in the face of the adversity of sometimes unimaginable trips.
Artworks that capture the determination, hope and strength that reside within migrant communities, challenging prevailing stereotypes and narratives around migration. A tension between hope, physical and psychological borders, and the profound impact of geopolitical forces on the life of the individual and the community.
"Contemporary Dilemmas: Eternal Displacements" seeks to foster empathy, promote dialogue and raise awareness about the various migratory experiences, ultimately seeking a more inclusive and compassionate society, framed by the inherent human desire to belong.
