A World Far Away, Nearby, and Invisible: Territory Narratives in the Jorge M. Pérez Collection

A World Far Away, Nearby and Invisible: Territory Narratives in the Jorge M. Pérez Collection explores territory as both a physical condition and a symbolic construct shaped by memory, history, spirituality, and imagination. Bringing together nearly 150 works by more than 100 artists from across the Americas, Europe, Africa, and beyond, the exhibition examines land as a living organism, a carrier of ancestral knowledge, and a site marked by conflict, resilience, and transformation. Curated by Claudia Segura Campins in dialogue with El Espacio 23 curators Patricia Hanna and Anelys Alvarez, the exhibition unfolds across four thematic sections addressing geological forces, colonial legacies, Indigenous cosmologies, and ecological trauma. The fully illustrated catalog features a curatorial essay by Segura Campins and interviews with artists Chioma Ebinama, Roberto Huarcaya and Rember Yahuarcani, Sandra Vásquez de la Horra, and Nohemí Pérez, offering deeper insight into the artists’ practices and the conceptual framework of the exhibition.
