From February 4th to 11th, 2025, during Mexico City Art Week, I curated a collective exhibition showcasing my ongoing series, Yantras, alongside three photographers based in the city: Tigree Escobar’s legendary archive, Proud Humans; Alberto Newton’s raw expression, IDentity; and Cosimo Damiano’s emerging landscapes, Through the Echoes.
The dialogue on the personification and dissolution of identities was the theme of curation that united our multidisciplinary work.
The Art of Nobody guided us to step away from our identity as artists, allowing the work to be the protagonist.
"To embody creative freedom, we must become nobody."
When we are attached to our feelings and choices, our minds resist the human experience. Yet, when we become aware that feelings are simply passengers, we embody humanness itself.
“Yantras" is a visual narrative of our identity's behaviour in the subconscious. The realms of colours, embodied by paint, water, and dyes, reflect the fluidity we naturally seek, while the woodblock-imprinted symbols in oil represent moments of disruption that restructure our path.
This work expresses an intimate invitation to the viewer, to discover how each piece reflects their emotional passage between tension and release.
Cosimo Damiano
Introducing: Through the Echoes, photography fused with fine art capturing the timeless dialogue between our inner landscapes and the outer world, where each interaction subtly shapes the layers of identity and our reconnection to the land in reverence.
Alberto Newton
Exhibiting: IDentity, a photography series which explores a visual deconstruction of selfhood, by stripping away external markers of self-expression, and questioning where true identity resides.
Tigree Escobar
Showcasing his photography series: Proud Humans, which documents the colours and essence of the queer community in Latin America as they reimagine concepts of identity, beauty, and the interplay in which their alter egos flourish in everyday life.
