Continentes como semillas

Group exhibition at La Casa Encendida in Madrid, featuring works by La Chola Poblete, Niño de Elche and Pedro G. Romero on how colonial histories continue to be present in bodies and in today's culture.

The exhibition Continentes como semillas brings together three creators to examine how colonial histories continue to be present in today's bodies and culture. The works combine sound, sculpture, drawing and performance, and offer critical readings of the mechanisms of oppression and of the forms of resistance on both continents.

Niño de Elche and Pedro G. Romero have developed the project Sadopítna, which traces the transnational routes of flamenco and the Manila Galleon route. Their shawls appear alongside sounds and references to the sculpture Voice, in a dialogue in which traditions and objects confront and transform one another.

La Chola Poblete understands the body as a terrain of rebellion. Her drawings mix images of the Virgin and of Pachamama with trans subjectivities and the current political landscape, using parody as a tool. The whole offers a journey in which each proposal questions identities from different perspectives.
