The Western concept of art gallery is reversed exposing a range of silenced narratives.
Title: Pinacoteca Migrante / Migrant Art Gallery
Commissioner: AECID (Spanish Agency for lnternational Development Cooperation)
Curator: Agustín Pérez Rubio
Artist: Sandra Gamarra Heshiki
The Western concept of art gallery is reversed exposing a range of silenced narratives. Every living organism – from humans to plants – going through a migration is the protagonist of the exhibition. In exposition over 100 new works by Heshiki based on paintings that belong to the national heritage of Spanish Collections and Art Museums from the times of the Empire to the Enlightenment. With this extensive research the artist wants to point out the lack of decolonial narrative present within museums.
