mareos en el corazón »

June 14 – August 7, 2021

« Rabia en los labios, mareos en el corazón » explores the departures and returns from the global south to the global north, addressing and verbalizing a series of tensions that arise from these crossings. The work of the artists that take part of this exhibition functions as a series of pronouncements that testify the empowerment we mobilize when traveling and inhabiting the world as migrant and dissident bodies, as bodies that build gestures of resistance: to get together to exist, to get together to belong, to get together to be visible.

How do we negotiate our presence in territories that exercise power over our legal existence through visas, residence permits, and asylum claims?

How to inhabit and perform as bodies traversed by colonial pasts, infected by capitalist systems and violated by male domination and hetero-patriarchal norms?

How do we develop mechanisms to deal with exoticization, precariousness, marginalization, racism and sexism?
