A Ring in the Navel: Counterculture Is at Home
Four artists—La Santísima Kitsch, Pepx Romero, Frank López, and Farlopa—take over Ex Teresa Arte Actual with performances, paintings, collages, textiles, and site-specific interventions across the venue's historic rooms. The thread connecting them is ornament as political stance: the power of excess, the fear of empty space, and the construction of identity through decoration. Entry is free.
