The Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP) is presenting the first Brazilian solo exhibition of Argentine artist La Chola Poblete, titled 'Pop andino,' from March 6 to August 2, 2026. The show features works that reimagine Pop Art through a Latin American lens, including her 'Chola Virgins' watercolor series and the 'Manifesto Pop Andino' sound piece, curated by MASP's Adriano Pedrosa and Leandro Muniz.
The exhibition is significant for its critical reappropriation of the derogatory term 'Chola' and its exploration of indigenous identity, gender, and colonial legacies. By merging Andean and Catholic iconography with pop culture references, Poblete challenges art historical canons and centers narratives from marginalized communities, aligning with MASP's ongoing focus on Latin American histories.
