Huellas, Voces y Otras Pistas

The exhibition, through a discontinuous narrative, articulates a series of works produced by artists connected to the context of Puebla. These works are constructed from materials—often residual—and specific objects. These objects, fragments of the territory's social, political, and economic history, are spaces sensitive to contact with the bodies of the artists who traverse this territory, as well as with those of its inhabitants.

This contact constitutes a space of transformation: the skin that touches—a link to the world and a threshold between the individual body and the collective—and the breath from which the voice emerges transform matter into a sensitive and political narrative entity, a surface of affect and resistance that, in turn, becomes the driving force behind the production of the pieces.

The results of these processes function as palimpsests in which narratives of diverse places are reconstructed. In their choral intertwining, they reveal the temporal stratifications of meaning of some materials - earth, soap, wool, denim, among others - and, at the same time, open fields of reflection common to these practices, among which are: the history of artisanal and industrial textile production in Puebla; the processes of mineral extraction; the history of migration from this context and the persistence of resistant ecosystems.
