The Miguel Hernández University in Elche, Spain, presents "Vientos del pueblo. Voices of Exile and Resistance," a group exhibition curated by Mónica Sotos. Inspired by Miguel Hernández's poem "Vientos del pueblo," the show features Argentine artists Ježik and Costa alongside Eugenio Merino, Gloria Oyarzábal, Ricardo Calero, Óscar Seco, Pierre Valls, and María Rosa Aránega. Through photography, video, installation, drawing, and archival works, the exhibition examines violence, borders, exile, and colonial legacies, challenging dominant power narratives.
The exhibition matters because it uses art as a discursive tool to address urgent geopolitical issues—displacement, migration, and bodily violence—that resonate globally. By bringing together diverse voices from Argentina and Spain, it fosters a polyphonic dialogue on memory and resistance, offering critical perspectives on how borders and systems of repression shape contemporary subjectivities. The show runs until July 4 at La Valona – Center for Contemporary Culture.
