SURREALISM IN LATIN AMERICA AT 4TH FIFCYL
Latin American surrealist photography will have a predominant place in the 4th edition of the Castilla y León International Photography Festival, to be held from April 17 in Palencia, Spain.
Within the program curated by Maria Millan, the exhibition Surrealism in Latin America presents the work of twelve artists, among which the presence of works by Rosa Covarrubias, Kati Horna, Graciela or Ana Mendieta strongly stands out.
With this exhibition, the festival proposes the necessary tools to understand the relevance of the Latin American vision of the centennial avant-garde, that which delves into the roots of magical realism and a certain transliteration of reality by assuming the points of view that emanate from the fantastic, which leads, in a way, to an original reinterpretation of the concept coined in Europe. The exhibition facilitates, with the incorporation of the personal style and that Latin American surrealist approach of the participants, to delve into that reinterpretative key of this movement and the worlds generated from it.
Surrealism in Latin America opens on April 17 at the Museo de Palencia and will be open until May 19. It is part of the IV International Photography Festival of Castilla y Leon, held in Palencia, Spain.

CABIESES’ INTERCEPTED IMAGE
The geometry in Jorge Cabieses' (Lima, Peru, 1971) usual outline is broken with the action of the spontaneity of the curved and almost organic stroke in his second solo exhibition in the Spanish capital. The Lima-born artist thus proposes, in a certain way, a dialogue between the artificial of the synthetic and the atavistic through the incorporation of those more spontaneous brushstrokes over the usual framework of rectitude that the artist usually presents.
TOWARDS MIGUEL ÁNGEL ROJAS' QUIEBRAMALES
Two decades after Miguel Ángel Rojas (1946, Bogotá, Colombia) conceptualized in his project David Quiebramales his denunciation of violence and the use of education as the most efficient vehicle towards a catharsis for those who suffer it, the Madrid headquarters of La Cometa revisits his most emblematic work and reinterprets it as the framework for a kind of thematic retrospective. This commemoration of that first David Quiebramales reinforces a view that is still difficult to overcome and that, even today, serves to trace those harmful social dynamics that are created between society and war, the institutional and the political systems.
