UNPRETENTIOUS STATEMENTS

Rather than seeking categorical answers, these tours aim to open up a space where the experiences of both visitors and the museum teams are put into play and create networks. Using conversation, listening and the difference of perspectives, we want to reflect on what it means to tour an exhibition.

How do we approach an exhibition without imposing a single narrative?

Unpretentious statements is an experiment that invites us to take part in a collective itinerary, inspired by the dialogue generated by the exhibitions Murky Waters, by Inês Zenha; War, Trade and Philanthropy, by Juan Pérez Agirregoikoa; and You Who Have Beautiful Manners, by Lucía C. Pino.

We want to test ways of engaging with the museum that are shared, open and unpretentious: a space where we allow the works challenge us, make us feel uncomfortable or connect us through unexpected places.

The tours will be guided by Francisca Soto Martínez (Santiago de Chile, 1989), an artist, restorer and educator based in Spain. A member of the collective El Hueco, her work is situated at the intersection between collective memory, community construction and cultural mediation, exploring the frictions between art, restoration and education.
