The Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney is presenting "Para verte mejor, en todo tiempo" (To see you better, at all times), a solo exhibition by Venezuelan-born artist Nadia Hernández. The show features an immersive textile collage, mural, and soundscape that draws on Venezuelan protest songs, musical traditions, and the artist's own diasporic experiences to explore memory, displacement, and resistance. It includes recent works such as "En todo tiempo (at all times)" 2024 and "El segundo verso (the second verse)" 2025, and is part of the gallery's Contemporary Projects series highlighting artists from New South Wales and wider Australia.
This exhibition matters because it brings a nuanced, cross-cultural perspective to the Art Gallery of NSW's programming, connecting Venezuelan collaborators globally and using art to examine how resistance is encoded in music and collective memory. By centering protest songs and diasporic narratives, Hernández's work offers a timely reflection on belonging and hope, reinforcing the gallery's role in presenting diverse international and Australian contemporary art to a broad audience.
