Bringing together the works of 40 international artists, the exhibition After the end. Cartographies for Another Time , curated by Manuel Borja-Villel, will question the Western narrative that is rooted in a colonial system through stories both new and ancestral, popular and modern. Highlighting the importance of communities, the exhibition will explore the issue of the diaspora and the limits of the intelligibility of modernity in order to imagine other worlds beyond the end of time and beyond our own time.
How is motherhood shaped by politics, history and migration? How do war, displacement and inheritance affect the relationship between mothers, children and society?
The exhibition is kaleidoscope of perspectives: from personal memory and embodied practice to colonial histories and institutional critique, and from the technological mediation of care to centuries-old ritual objects that have crossed borders and epochs.
