La Chola Poblete holds dual art exhibitions in Madrid

Argentine artist La Chola Poblete is currently featured in two major exhibitions in Madrid, marking a significant milestone in her career. Her work, which spans painting, sculpture, installation, and performance, explores historical ambiguities and critiques the exoticization of indigenous peoples.

Her first solo exhibition in a Spanish gallery, titled ‘Marrón Barroco’, is hosted at Travesía Cuatro and runs until November 7. The collection includes paintings, photography, and collages featuring political and social messages regarding decolonization, patriarchy, and land rights.

Additionally, La Casa Encendida is hosting ‘Continentes como semillas’, an exhibition running until January 10, 2027. This showcase combines her work with that of artists Niño de Elche and Pedro G. Romero to offer new perspectives on colonial histories.
