Another Shore/Otra Orilla presents new perspectives in visual art on the networks between Latin America and the Arab world. Bringing together a group of contemporary artists, the exhibition explores the diasporic and migratory links between the two regions, revealing an enduring history of movement. Additionally, the show delves into the parallels and intersections between Latin America and the Arab world, through shared histories of political solidarity, lived realities and poetic imaginaries. Another Shore moves away from a centre-periphery narrative and foregrounds South-South connections. Rather than a survey or historical approach to the subject, the exhibition brings together a constellation of contemporary artists, all of whom open windows into the flows, routes, and exchanges between these two regions. Featuring new commissions, as well as works ranging from film, installation, textile and performance, the show surfaces stories from Palestine, Chile, Iraq, Puerto Rico and Brazil among others.
