La larga noche de los 500 años
Marcela Cantuária
A Gentil Carioca Gallery · 2019
Marcela Cantuária's exhibition La larga noche de los 500 años brings together paintings that revisit colonial history through images of resistance, memory, and political imagination. The artist connects Latin American struggles, feminist movements, Indigenous cosmologies, and environmental conflicts, creating compositions where different times and geographies coexist. Rather than following official narratives, Cantuária builds a visual counter-history shaped by insurgent figures, collective dreams, and the desire for social transformation. Her works point to the possibility of another future, one born from the long struggle against oppression, erasure, and the exhaustion of the Earth.
