Portas Vilaseca Galeria is taking part in the main session of Arco Madrid 2024 with a special project featuring a selection of works by artists Antonio Pichillá Quiacaín (Guatemala) and Ayrson Heráclito(Brazil), including videos, photographs, sculptures, paintings, objects and fabric works.
The two artists’ research focuses on ancestral spirituality and reflects on various healing processes preserved by indigenous peoples and Afro-descendant ethnic communities in Latin America. Both of them develop their works in a historical-political zone marked by acts of racist violence and circulate in the territory of history in search of a voice that says what has not been said, shedding light on the world views that have been made invisible. It is in this silence that the works gain strength and find a voice, where the ritual acts of historical healing with their convening potential are embodied, through their dance practices, offerings, songs, gestures and actions.
The fair takes place from 6 to 10 March at the Ifema Madrid exhibition centre.
Come along and visit us! (booth C721).
