from the series “Warawar Wawa (Son of the Stars)”

“Some people say that my work questions dominant notions of cultural identity, and perhaps that’s true. But I’m drawn to many things, such as thinking about landscapes, or the way clouds appear in a bright blue sky in some of my photographs. I’m deeply stimulated by Christian iconography, and I’m interested in play dynamics as a way of generating knowledge. I would say I play a lot: I play professionally. I play in a kind of grand contemporary theater, blending everything: my family’s history, my Indigenous roots, my post-internet contradictions, fashion, literature, the Latin American colonial archive, foundational myths, and much more.

I try to express a nostalgia for the mystical, the epic, and the sacred in order to create rituals of my own invention. These rituals are my way of resisting the hegemony of what we call ‘capitalism.’ I want to create myths and question the ways in which values are constructed in times of transition.”

Gen Z, one generation, countless perspectives: the exhibition presents works by over 40 photographers from 25 countries born between the 1990s and 2010. Their works reflect experiences shaped by digital worlds, social change and global crises. Across four thematic sections, the exhibition offers insights into the realities, concerns and aspirations of young people. Themes such as identity, belonging, the body and gender are explored creatively, questioned and reimagined through new forms of self-understanding.
