About the exhibit
En lo más negro del verano / In the Darkest Domain of Summer is a contemplative exhibition inspired by a haunting poem by Peruvian writer Blanca Varela. Twelve emerging artists respond through painting, ceramics, installation, film, and more, exploring death as an ever-present force woven through memory, mourning, and renewal. Much like Día de los Muertos, these works become echoes of people, places, and histories, inviting visitors to reflect on the cycle of life where beauty and loss intertwine.
