Curaduría por Latinou

Sofía Echeverri

Sofia is a free woman who, faced with the patriarchal interpretations of our past by archaeology, reflects and chooses to reinterpret pre-Hispanic art, giving a place of equality and power to women.
For the fair, the Ser-cóatl series is presented, works made on palm mats hand-woven by women from Cornizuelo, San Luis Potosí. By using this artisanal technique, Echeverri not only highlights the beauty and sustainability of the materials, but also pays tribute to the collaboration with these artisans, creating a bridge between Mesoamerican cosmogony and contemporaneity. Her work challenges cultural hegemony and gender stereotypes, suggesting new forms of freedom and equality, while making feminine strength visible through ancestral symbols such as the snake, a power animal in pre-Hispanic Mexico as in other ancient cultures.

Virginia Colwell

Virginia works with political stances focused on historical narratives, exploring how gaps in official archives rewrite the past. She questions how freedom is exercised or limited in narrating history. For the fair she proposes Theatre Backdrops, a landscape produced with digital printing, canvas and rope, inspired by videos filmed in the mountains of El Salvador and photos of the Salvadoran Civil War, which reflects the transformation of the territory. Colwell was inspired by the idea of ​​a "theater of war" when she discovered that the historical landscape had changed drastically and there was a scarcity of visual records of the time. The proposed work questions the meaning of a past that can only be imagined, and whether history, in essence, is always a theatrical work.

Helena Garza

Helena explores plastic freedom as a space in which the rules are rewritten. Through her experimentation with virtual reality and biodesign, Garza generates a dialogue between the physical and digital worlds, questioning the limits of what is recognizable and offering a radical reinterpretation of nature. Her work opens a space for contemplation that invites new readings of the material and the immaterial. For the fair, she proposes a body of work entitled Abiogenesis, a series of paintings inspired by this theory (which proposes that life originated from organic matter), and by astrobiology, which studies the existence of life in the universe. These pieces will dialogue with the sculptures of Star Figures, her series of ceramic stones that are an exploration and reinterpretation of the biological and astronomical information contained in stones and meteorites.
