Paola de la Calle
July 20, 2023 thru
August 27, 2023
Drawing inspiration from Colombian poet María Mercedes Carranza’s piece “La Patria” (“The Motherland”), Colombian-American multidisciplinary artist Paola de la Calle’s debut solo exhibition, In This House We Are All Buried Alive examines the relationship between power and memory. What becomes the memory of a culture? Of a family? Who benefits when memories are forgotten?
De La Calle investigates how the social-political histories of the United States and Colombia shape family narratives, influence identity, and transform cultural memory. In This House We Are All Buried Alive is a testament to the necessity of collective remembrance and resistance against the institutionalizing of historical amnesia.
Where María Mercedes Carranza’s poem ends, Paola de la Calle’s exhibition begins.
