Various art exhibitions and creative initiatives have launched across Latin America and Spain, often exploring themes of identity, memory, and territory. 

In Mexico, the Museo Amparo in Puebla has opened ‘El hogar que habito,’ featuring works from 60 artists, including Francisco Toledo and Leonora Carrington, to explore how space is inhabited through body, memory, and power. In Mexico City, Peruvian artist Fátima Rodrigo presented ‘Con todo y mi tristeza’ at Museo Tamayo, utilizing geometric shapes and pastel colors to reflect on the influence of television aesthetics on Latin American visual identity. Additionally, the Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil continues to host experimental writing workshops inspired by nature.

In Colombia, María José Arjona’s ‘Sedimentaciones’ is featured at Sala de Arte Bancolombia, while the exhibition ‘Cali, después del ruido’ utilizes community participation to reconstruct the city’s memory following a 1956 dynamite explosion. 

Other notable cultural activities include Virginia Laurentti’s ‘Rito y Vigilia’ in Argentina, ALEGRE Espacio de Arte’s focus on contemporary jewelry and textile intervention, and an exhibition in Cádiz, Spain, centered on oceanic art themes.
