Shaped By Histories: “Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle: A Want for Nothing” at the DePaul Art Museum

The article reviews the exhibition "Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle: A Want for Nothing" at the DePaul Art Museum, which presents the artist's multimedia works that explore themes of history, migration, and identity. Manglano-Ovalle's pieces, including video installations and sculptures, engage with personal and collective narratives, drawing on archival materials and contemporary issues.

The exhibition matters because it highlights how Manglano-Ovalle's practice interrogates the intersections of memory, place, and politics, offering a nuanced perspective on how histories shape present realities. It contributes to ongoing conversations in contemporary art about diaspora, belonging, and the role of institutions in presenting marginalized stories.
