Rebirth of a Body

“Rebirth of a Body” is an exhibition that explores the performative narratives of Latin American and Caribbean women whose lives unfold at the intersection of migration. This exhibition seeks to portray the body of the migrant woman as a border in transit that carries its own cultural memory and resists erasure.

The exhibition offers a complex vision of migration as a continuous process of loss, adaptation, and rebirth. A body in constant performative response but that is deeply connected to the factors of its original lands. Here, the body is both a marker of absence and a presence that resists erasure, continually redefining itself across borders and generations. Being born in a new territory creates a realm of new meanings for the body of a migrant woman and this exhibition gives the opportunity to look at the passage of these bodies to form a collective memory that lives not in one, but in everyone.

The exhibition presents the works of: Yali Romagoza (Cuba / New York), Sujetka Val Terkes (Peruì / New York), Patricia Encarnacioìn (Dominican Republic / New York), Domenica Garcia (Ecuador / New York), Elisa Lutteral(Argentina / New York) and Damariz Damken (US-Mexico Border / New York). Through the spirit of their native culture, they explore the transformation of their bodies which take place through the process of belonging in a new territory away from their native land.
