Semblance of the exhibition\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Perspectivas, sue\u00f1os y memorias, (perspectives, dreams and memories): two artists that speak from their life experience and the nonconformities that they have with reality. In this same matte, and using their creative process to take them to the production of the displayed pieces, that were developed with diversity in color, technic, and shape.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Xavier Esqueda and Nassim Hantehzadeh worry about the normalization of the humanitarian crisis, between them: environmental crisis, the effects of armed conflicts, the systematic gender hierarchy, the body and the way that nationalism biases culture and the empathy that we should have with people.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

One of the objectives of this exposition, is to let our visitors thread this vision that is shared, where, an artist of contemporary art -Hantehzadeh- and a modern artists -Esqueda-, join in key points to talk about their perspective of life.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

The techniques he uses are varied he has reproduced pieces in collage, embroidery, oleo, graphic, sculpture, and found object.
