Virginia Pérez-Ratton, Centroamérica: deseo de lugar. Cortesía MUAC

Esta exposición propone revisar la contribución de Pérez-Ratton a partir de varios aspectos: su obra artística, sus proyectos como curadora independiente e institucional, su complicidad y colaboración constante con mujeres artistas, escritoras, teóricas y curadoras.
