Algo latente tiembla

The group exhibition Algo latente tiembla [Something Latent Trembles] at Campeche explores the concept of vulnerability as a symbolic and intuitive space where the sense of reality becomes malleable. Each work approaches this condition as a state of openness to mutability, uncertainty, and impermanence—one that transcends the human and the sentient.

Thinking about vulnerability in the current context implies instinctive connotations of fragility and helplessness. In its most common meaning, the term refers to bodies, territories, or ecosystems that have been shattered or undermined, under power structures shaped by mechanisms of domination and systemic violence.

Created by eight women artists, the presented works move beyond any subjective and individualizing experience, proposing an alternative to the dualistic framework that often opposes passivity and action, dependence and autonomy, or unity and otherness. Here, categories blur and opposites coexist. Even (creative) force, power, or control—concepts traditionally understood as antagonistic counterparts to the notion at stake—become, instead, extensions of it. Vulnerability thus emerges as an energy that is constructed, shared, and mobilized beyond the traditional logics that structure coexistence among earthly beings.

Artists: Antonia Alarcón, Tania Bello, Andrea Ferrero, Mili Herrera, Lorena Mal, María Naidich, Miriam Salado and Jessica Wozny.
