Inside Heaven

Inside Heaven gathers the talent of prominent Mexican artists from the collection of Lorena Pérez-Jácome and Javier Lumbreras, conceived to be showcased at the Cultural Institute of Mexico in Spain. This selection aims to illuminate research and creative processes, exploring themes such as geological age, intricate writing processes, self-representation, and territorial resonances.

The title of the exhibition is inspired by the poem "Inside Heaven" by Nezahualcoyotl, a pillar of pre-Hispanic thought. In his poetry, the sky is evoked as a realm of self-determination and a portal to enigmas that seem unattainable; a metaphor that resonates in the way artists unravel their creativity, pursuing an understanding of both the immediate and the unexplored. An echo of the poem's question: "Where will we truly go?".
