IN/BETWEEN/NESS: Women Tales from Latin America a group exhibition showcasing the works of ten London-based Latin American women artists, spanning a variety of mediums including textiles, ceramics, painting, sculpture, photography, and sound. Belen Santamarina, Constanza Pulit, Luisa Rivera, Laura Kazzaroff, Ana Kazaroff, Carmen Mardónez, Sofía Clausse, Camila Colussi, Fiorella Angelini, and Emily Colipí come together to explore, from diverse perspectives, the challenges posed by their current state of Inbetweeness.
Inbetweenness can be understood as a liminal space or a state that implies dynamics of continuity, separation, transition, overlapping and mobility. The exhibition delves into the crafting of identity narratives within these transitional spaces shaped by migratory experiences. Drawing from intimate stories, cultural myths, Latin American folktales, and generational knowledge and practices, the exhibiting artists employ literary devices from the fictional realm to intricately weave their tales. Within this liminal space, memory and identity (re)construct themselves through intersecting storylines and non-linear temporalities, often imbued with poetic fantasy.
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.
Curated by LATAMesa, a curatorial duo integrated by Carolina Orlando and Pilar Seivane working in collaborative ways to build and sustain a strong network among Latin American artists and art workers based in London.
The exhibition was rendered possible thanks to the generous support of The Anglo Chilean Society.

LATIN AMERICAN ART EXHIBITION
‘SOUTHERN FLANEUR’ BY TERE CHAD ARRIVES AT PALADAR RESTAURANT
*The Chilean artist brings a compilation of her works developed since her arrival in London to enchant lovers of Latin America.
*The exhibition, which formally launches on the afternoon of 25th February 2024 at Paladar Restaurant brings an insight of Tere Chad’s creative practice to your dining table.
Tere Chad’s versatile practice is a response to her observations of everyday life. As someone who cycles more than 40 miles per week in London, she relates to the way Walter Benjamin (1892 – 1940) describes Charles Baudelaire’s creative process as an act of flâneur strolling through the city. Instead of writing poems inspired by the 19th Century streets of Paris, Tere Chad has found London to be a cultural hub that has opened her doors to working across the world. Her work involves recycling, community engagement, Latin American empowerment and critical thinking over the impact of new technologies.
During the course of the exhibition, Tere Chad will host a number of public events to celebrate Latin America’s cultural richness, which you are more than welcome to join.
