'The Return of the Gaze: The Political Task of Narrating'

This exhibition features a dozen projects by Paloma Polo from 2010 to the present, including the premiere of her unpublished film 'Wrinkled Minds'. Titled 'The Return of the Gaze: The Political Task of Narrating', La Virreina Centre de la Imatge inaugurates the first retrospective dedicated to Paloma Polo in the city. The artist's work highlights the political nature of the act of narrating or explaining something. Through photographs, collages, films, and other formats organized into four thematic areas, Polo's art delves into silenced historical narratives, questions hegemonic colonial and patriarchal narratives, and provokes reflection on how collective memory has been constructed. Her images serve as "mirages of truth," inviting us to rediscover the stories that have not been told.
