tierrita poca, pa’l que se va explores the parallels between individual experiences of exile through collective narratives. The title refers to two songs by Alfredo Zitarrosa, a Uruguayan composer, poet, and singer who was forced into exile following the 1973 military coup due to his political stance and leftist ideology. His experience resonates with my own family history: my grandmother lived under two dictatorships, and my father was also forced to leave his native Uruguay.
A chair and a poem coated with a photosensitive emulsion that reacted and transformed throughout the exhibition, as memory: something in constant fluctuation, merging with the changes we go through, rewriting itself.
Blurring the echoes of reality

With this Installation, I also pay tribute to the artists whose work has sustained, in different ways, my own artistic practice. Some of them have also been forced to migrate. Their songs, poems, texts, and ideas have accompanied me throughout my experience of migration: Emma Reyes, Eduardo Galeano, Saul Williams, Renato Rodríguez, Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui and Gloria Anzaldúa
