A Reinterpretation of the Fuentes Angarita Collection at La Neomudéjar

Museo La Neomudéjar in Madrid is presenting a major exhibition titled '30 Years of Irreverence and Vision in the Fuentes Angarita Collection.' The show features over 130 works from the collection of Venezuelan artist and collector Andreína Fuentes Angarita, curated by Néstor Prieto and Omar Castañeda. It is structured as a living archive, mapping three decades of Latin American political art through four thematic stations: the collective self, diaspora, identity and gender, and the memory of the body.

The exhibition reframes the act of collecting as a political and affective gesture, using art to explore themes of resistance, social crisis, and fragmented historical memory. It provides a critical lens on Venezuela's recent history as a 'wound in motion' and emphasizes gender as a central field of symbolic action and dispute. By connecting artworks with contemporary theory, the show highlights art's power to reflect and amplify urgent social dialogues, positioning the personal collection as a space for activism and confrontation.
