"Paulo Nazareth (Brazil, 1977) invites us to walk through Luzia, his first solo exhibition in Mexico, which spans decades of his work across a diverse range of media. In the exhibition, Nazareth, who identifies as a member of the People of Luzia (Povo de Luzia), presents an exercise of historiographical speculation in search of the enigmatic figure called Luzia: a fossil, an ancestor, a saint, a city, an Afro-indigenous people and territory. Nazareth is known for “behavior art,” (arte de conducta) an artistic practice rooted in radical movement, such as his crossing borders on foot. By mobilizing the body’s memory and guided by a spiral temporality, he challenges the authority of scientific discourse and negotiates the complex terrain that is Latin American identity."

In Aishah (Los caminos del alma), Maïmouna Guerresi continues her intimate exploration of Black Muslim identities through evocative images and sculptural pieces that merge figure, architecture, and landscape. Drawing upon her practice of Sufi mysticism and influence from Senegalese and broader Islamic traditions, Guerresi crafts compositions in which veiled figures often float or blend with nature, roots, light, milk, and cloaks symbolizing spiritual unity and healing. The exhibition underscores themes of ancestral belonging, gender, and shared humanity, presenting a poetic visual journey across the spirit’s terrain.
