I had the pleasure of being a curator for “Ese Puerto Existe”, a solo exhibition by Peruvian artist @fabiolagonzales__ at @noemi_espace_brownstone with the support of @iesa.arts.culture and the Embassy of Peru.
This project has been incredibly meaningful. Working closely with Fabiola’s ideas and artistic practice allowed me to reflect on questions of memory, migration, belonging, and the places we continue to carry within us.
I am deeply grateful to the incredible team that brought this exhibition to life. Thank you to @dayneris_brito @carolina.ariza.gonzalez @aniaiwanczuk @nastiarobhy @lorisia_sakhri @sofia.yashchuk @aleuna22 @noya.ismoil @joyyyyyyy0715 @greciacaceresm and everyone whose dedication, creativity, and generosity made this project possible.
As curator, I had the privilege of writing the exhibition text. Here is a short excerpt:
“Rather than presenting home as a stable site, Gonzáles understands it as something emotional and mutable, constructed through gestures, inherited forms of care, and the
bonds that persist across time and distance. What does it mean to call a place “home” in a world defined by movement?
The title of this exhibition, “Ese puerto existe” (That port exists), borrows its name from the 1959 book by the Peruvian poet Blanca Varela. For Varela, a “port” wasn’t just a place where ships
land; it was a metaphor for finding a solid ground to stand on in a world that is always changing.
For someone who has moved between countries or experiences the fading of family memories, home can feel like it’s slipping away. The artist finds her “port” in the fragments of the everyday:
the grain of a photograph, the edge of a textile, and the repetitive gestures of family ritual. For Fabiola Gonzáles, this port represents the emotional architecture we build to resist the tides of movement and time. Despite the instability of memory and the fragmentation of the immigrant experience, a place of belonging stubbornly exists.”
Thank you to everyone who visited, supported, and shared this journey with us. 🤍
