‘poemas de sal y tierra (poems of salt and soil)’ is a collective living archive, an ever evolving space where sentiment, symbolism, and memorabilia come together to be held, celebrated, reimagined, and shared. The gallery space functions like a diary written in prose, where the artworks serve as entries–preserving feelings and memories beyond physical artifacts. Artists from the Caribbean and Latin American weave new layers of meaning into inherited stories, places and objects, transforming memory into an active conversation that continues to unfold.
poemas de sal y tierra (poems of salt and soil), explores the idea that we both come from and become the places we move through. Salt and soil, fundamental to land and sea, symbolize ancestral geographies. Through the use of various mediums–painting, drawing, sound, film, photography and sculpture– artists translate ephemeral histories, embodied knowledge and shifting landscapes into tangible artworks, much like poetry makes visible the invisible threads of our existence.
Artists include Elisa Bergel Melo, Jonathan Carela, Amanda Linares, Nathalie Alfonso, Nicole Combeau, Adler Guerrier, Raymel Casmayor, Victoria Ravelo, Victoria Ravelo, Stephen Arboite and Devin Osorio.
Through their work, the artists transform fragments of themselves into an active, breathing record of resilience and reverence for their roots, lived experiences and their own sense of belonging. This exhibition is ultimately a reflection of how we collect, connect and preserve the intangible, and how we return to it for comfort, clarity, and renewal. Here, collective memory isn’t fixed; it shifts, grows, and evolves through each work.
This exhibition was curated by FORGOTTEN LANDS and homework.
