Group Exhibition curated by Vanesa Peña Alarcón (ES)

SomoS is excited to invite you to Ambactia Memoria, on view from September 7 – 19, 2021, coinciding with Berlin Art Week. Developed by Vanesa Peña Alarcón (ES) in the context of a Curatorial Residency, this international group show presents a wide selection of works across disciplines featuring sculpture, painting, installation, textile, video, and performance, dealing critically with the legacy of Hispanicness on a global scale. Ambactia Memoria offers artists, critics, and activists an open framework to articulate non-normative artistic positions and peripheral perspectives regarding tradition, memory, and identities in relation to "the Hispanic." By exploring the intersection between feminism, transculturalism, and (post)migrant approaches on the representations, practices, and diverse forms of identity in contemporary society, the selected works deconstruct the idea of Hispanicness and collectively imagine its future transformation.
