Taking cues from Stuart Hall’s reflections on the Living Archive, the term archive here is approached not only as evidence or recount of the past, but also as a testimony to the voids in time and history. It is approached as a holistic and dynamic body that offers, in its incompleteness, the possibility to inhabit and continuously reassess the past, in search of that which was omitted. In this vein, the exhibition brings together Ethel-Ruth Tawe and Mallory Lowe Mpoka, two artists whose practices are deeply rooted within intergenerational transmission and archival custodianship.

For our Winter Window Exhibition, mid-December 2025 to early January 2026, we are inviting applicants, both individual artists and collectives, to propose works around the theme: INVERSE. We want proposals that play and explore notions of inside and outside, that play with revealing what is usually hidden and concealing what is normally on display. We want to see the inside out and the upside down, inversions and interventions that question how things are normally presented, that redefine the relationship between supposed opposites.

Organized in conjunction with the performance, H ART Department, come for a brunching good time where we’ll learn about the ways these fellow artists/curators/educators/arts workers use whisper networks to navigate the spicy art world we continue to work in. 🌶️

Through theoretical research that I refer to as “embodied,” I intend to explore my relationship with two pioneers of the avant-garde (Sophie Taeuber-Arp and Sonia Delaunay-Terk), as well as two major Latin American cultural references (Violeta Parra and the band Soda Stereo). My intention is to produce knowledge through the body and emotions, not only through reading and study, but also and above all through a performative approach. — Camila Vásquez
