"and so the broken mend themselves" at Somers Gallery
Somers Gallery, LATAMesa and INTEMPERIE are delighted to announce and so the broken mend themselves, a group exhibition at Somers Gallery presenting the work of Alejandra Mizrahi, Mara Caffarone, Lulú Lobo, Eilen Itzel Mena, Camila Barvo, and Ume Dahlia.
The six-week exhibition brings together the work of six Latin American women artists whose practices span painting, sculpture, textile, graphic art and performance, engaging with notions of mending, both as a technical act and a poetic symbol. Through an exploration of materiality and techniques passed down through generations, and so the broken mend themselves, invites a reflection on how these elements become conduits for narratives of resilience, transformation, and the continuous negotiation of identity. The exhibition also examines varied approaches to the artistic gesture, revealing its power as a means to navigate and articulate these themes.

"PRIMORDIAL SOUPS" at Mucciaccia Gallery
“Primordial Soups” a group exhibition featuring the artworks of five UK-based artists, Emilia González, Hannah Lees, Camilo Parra, Seán Savage Ferrari and Tessa Silva curated by LATAMesa at Mucciaccia Gallery.
This exhibition seeks to enrich the dialogue between British and Latin identities, delving into the personal and ecological narratives embedded in the unseen and unsung matter of our world. By engaging with materiality, the artists reveal the interconnections between nature, body, memory and territory, and the enduring dialogues they maintain with the past while shaping our present.
What narratives emerge when we consider the collaborative, symbiotic, and interdependent nature of existence?

“IN/BETWEEN/NESS: Women Tales from Latin America” at Somers Gallery / April, 2024
“IN/BETWEEN/NESS: Women Tales from Latin America”, featuring the artworks of ten London-based Latin American artists: Fiorella Angelini, Sofía Clausse, Emily Colipí, Camila Colussi, Ana Kazaroff, Laura Kazaroff, Carmen Mardónez, Constanza Pulit, Luisa Rivera and Belén Santamarina, curated by LATAMesa at Somers Gallery.
The exhibition delves into the (re)construction of identity narratives within transitional or liminal spaces shaped by migratory experiences. Dwelling between borders, the artists navigate the boundaries between their inner selves and their surroundings, between the real and the magical/fictional worlds, and between their home of origin and host home. Boundaries between past, present, and future also blur. It is within this in-betweenness, amidst the tension of borders, where the most intriguing discoveries occur.
