Hilda Palafox

The Zapopan Art Museum presents Hierba mala by the artist Hilda Palafox in the Lola Álvarez Bravo room, curated by Viviana Kuri. The exhibition is made up of a mural project, large-format paintings and high-temperature ceramic sculptures. As part of the Public Space Interventions Program, the mural continues outside the museum in the form of an intervention on the façade, changing the color of the MAZ doors for the first time since its opening.

In the artist's words, this set of pieces questions the conception of the body through allegories about its inevitable transformation. In the form of defragmented silhouettes and the use of natural elements, shadows and household objects suspended in timeless landscapes, life grows vigorous and wild like weeds that push their way through the cracks in the asphalt.

The one known as weed or weed, a feminine concept like many others that are linked to evil, as if everything perverse in the world had to do with femininity, suggests this rebellion, these self-possessed beings who they refuse to diminish, they unleash and expand freely, they shed their gender subjectivity and embrace their maturity and sexuality.

Guided tour at 11 a.m.
