José Miguel de la Barra 480, of.201
Santiago, Chile

Curated by Ignacio Smulewicz, ‘Far, Far Away’ brings together thirteen works by Chilean artists from a wide range of generations who share the experience of living in the diaspora of the globalised world. From Germany, Spain, Switzerland, the United States, Argentina, and the Netherlands, they turn their gaze to their country of origin to make an artistic review of their past, identity, and wounds, based on personal experiences, archival research, community dialogues, and even archaeological findings.

According to the curator, ‘for Paula Baeza Pailamilla (1988) —who participates in the exhibition with the video performance Anümn / Plantar / Sow (2020)— revisiting Chile’s history through art is an excellent opportunity to reflect and think critically about the country’s official narratives.’
