Travesía Cuatro presents Nostalgia del futuro by La Chola Poblete.

Melancolía del futuro [Melancholy of the future] is a paradoxical feeling that emerges when we confront a time yet to come, but feels distant, uncertain, and tinged with nostalgia. It is the sensation of longing for something that has not yet arrived, a longing rooted not in the past but in the anticipation of what might be lost before it even materializes.La Chola Poblete(Guaymallén, Mendoza, Argentina, 1989) studied visual arts at Universidad Nacional de Cuyo.La Chola participated in Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere, the main exhibition at Biennale Arte curated by Adriano Pedrosa (Venice, 2024), during which she was awarded a Special Mention.Her solo shows include Guaymallén, Palais Populaire, Berlin, 2023; Pap Art , Kunsthalle Lissabon, Lisbon, 2023 and Ejercicios del llanto, Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires, 2022; El órgano masculino de la Chola, Mercado de Arte Contemporáneo, Córdoba, Argentina; SLAVE, Museo Carlos Alonso, Mendoza, Argentina; Todos sabemos lo fácil que es hacer llorar a alguien, El Cultural San Martín, Buenos Aires, Argentina; Pierrot, curada por Marcela Sinclair, Centro Cultural Conte Grand, Festival Plataforma Futuro, San Juan, Argentina; Rumore, Museo Municipal de Arte Moderno Mendoza (MMAMM) y Secretaría de Cultura, Mendoza, Argentina, among others.She has participated in group exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires, Argentina; (ISLAA) Institute for Studies on Latin American Art, New York, USA; Centro Internacional Das Artes José de Guimarães, Portugal, among many others.
