FUTURE EXHIBITIONS

Mboso ri Apú |Voices of Water​

March 12–July 12, 2026

The art collective Madre Monte explores, in the exhibition Mboso ri Apú (Voices of Water), the intimate and poetic ancestral heritage of Palenque de San Basilio in Colombia, reflecting on how memory, mystery, and the dreamlike coexist in the Palenque universe of waters. In the exhibition, the female symbolism converges in the clay pot, an everyday object that also represents the womb, the uterus, dark and cool repose, a container of memories and secrets. Water transforms into faces, landscapes, and glimpses of the past; it clouds the documentary clarity of Richard Cross’s photographic archive; and it reinterprets the collection by bringing it back to life in the Palenque territory where it originated, amidst medicinal plants and the hands of women.

La colectiva artística Madre Monte explora en la exposición Mboso ri Apú (Voces del Agua) la herencia ancestral, íntima y poética de Palenque de San Basilio, en Colombia, reflexionando sobre cómo la memoria, el misterio y lo onírico coexisten en el universo de las aguas de Palenque. En la exhibición, los simbolismos de lo femenino se congregan en la tinaja, objeto cotidiano que ahora también es vientre, útero, reposo oscuro y fresco, contenedor de recuerdos y secretos. El agua toma forma de rostros, paisajes y destellos del pasado, desdibuja la nitidez documental de un archivo fotográfico y lo resignifica al devolverlo a la vida en el territorio palenquero donde nació, entre plantas medicinales y manos de mujeres.
