The general public is invited to the opening of three exhibitions that, from different artistic languages, reflect on the body, memory, and identity.
The Secretary of Culture of the Government of the State of San Luis Potosí invites the general public to the inauguration of three exhibitions that, from different artistic languages, reflect on the body, memory and identity as political and sensitive territories, the appointment is at the SLP Museum of Contemporary Art, which will take place today, Thursday, February 12, 2026, at 7 p.m., free admission.
“Putting the Body in Gender Perspective (LIA-H1)”, by Irma Hermoso ‘LUNA’, is a room developed from the records of her master’s research. The piece proposes a space for meeting, listening, and collective memory, in which the body is presented as a tool for critical reflection and social transformation from art and human rights.
For its part, “Sleep for a little while… ahorita nos vamos”, by Leo the Kid (Leonardo Araujo), is an immersive installation with video mapping and soundscape that explores the promises that marked the childhoods that grew up in Mexico between the late nineties and the early years of the two thousand. Based on devices linked to play and waiting, the exhibition activates fragmented memories that show the distance between the promised future and the inhabited reality, situating its political dimension in the bodily and affective experience.
And “The Maternal Thorn”, a mural by Mako Torres (María José Torres Medina), establishes a symbolic dialogue between the Virgin Mary and the goddess Coatlicue. The work problematizes the notions of motherhood, faith, and cultural identity from the processes of colonization, resistance, and resignification that make up the mestizo identity, presenting motherhood as a creative and protective force.
The general public is invited to be part of the inauguration, in which the Metanoia group will be present, which is a fresh rhythm with percussion and double bass.
