Córdoba, located in the geographical heart of Argentina, has historically been a city of critical thinking, cultural unrest, and artistic practice marked by autonomy and experimentation. Far from the major centers of economic and symbolic power in global art, Córdoba has cultivated a unique scene, fueled by the friction between academic tradition (now at risk due to the neoliberal and far-right policies plaguing Argentina) and the contemporary impulses that run through artistic practices. This exhibition brings together a small group of artists who live, work, and produce in that city, and who, through different languages and materials, reflect a vibrant artistic ecosystem. Their works are testimonies to a context of production characterized by collaboration, friendship, self-management, and the intersection of disciplines. The precariousness of the resources we usually have at our disposal, far from being a limitation, has often driven alternative ways of making, thinking, and circulating art. Independent spaces, collective workshops, and informal circuits play a fundamental role, often functioning as laboratories of ideas where new forms of production and reflection are experimented with.
