The tradition that runs through us
Exhibition
In recent years we have experienced a great transformation. The world has changed and, due to the proliferation of critical revisions of its patriarchal, colonial and exploitative foundations, our understanding of it has also changed. We can no longer stop feeling the dominant cultures, which have marked our identities, as foreign bodies that violently pierce us.
This transformation, however, points not only to our future but also to our past. Questioning certain foundational myths and recovering others historically sidelined is crucial to reconfiguring our present.
How do we confront today the tradition that runs through us and wounds us?
Santa Mònica has invited twenty artists to discuss and share lines of work around this question. This collective process has led to the series of newly produced pieces presented in this exhibition, a set of critical readings of the traditions that have shaped us and continue to do so.
Opening of The tradition that runs through us at the Santa Mònica: 02.02.2022 at 7 p.m.
