Group exhibition curated by Marcela Villanueva bringing together six Argentine artists based in Berlin — Delfina Carmona, Jasmine Bakalarz, Julieta Pestarino, Justina Leston, Lucía Szych and Martina Zamudio — to explore migration as an ongoing process of transformation rather than a fixed condition. Through photography, video, installation, sound and experimental practices, the exhibition examined fragmented identities, memory, language, motherhood, dislocation and the unstable experience of belonging between places. Developed within an existing diasporic network, the curatorial approach foregrounded the ways migrant artists rebuild both personal narratives and forms of community in Berlin, positioning the exhibition as a space where individual experiences of displacement could be read in relation to one another.

Photographic portrait fragmented through mirrored planes: a woman's face repeats and refracts in warm amber light, splitting into overlapping reflections.
