Territories in Connection: Latin American Art in Ciudad de las Artes Panama

The exhibition "Territorios en conexión" (Territories in Connection) opened at Ciudad de las Artes in Panama City, featuring Latin American artists working with video, textiles, and performance. Curated by Irene Gelfman, the show includes works by artists like Sandra Monterroso, Ana Barboza, and Ana Elena Tejera, and is part of the Pinta Panamá Art Week.

The exhibition matters because it reframes the concept of territory not as fixed geography, but as a network of relationships built from ancestry, memory, and bodily experience. It highlights how contemporary Latin American artists use traditional mediums like textiles to explore themes of colonization, identity, community, and resistance, offering a critical view of the Panamanian and regional art scene.
