Hulda Guzmán features in ‘Who tells a tale, adds a tail’

'Who tells a tale adds a tail: Latin America and contemporary art' highlights the work of 19 contemporary artists connected to Latin America. The exhibition demonstrates the ways in which ideas of storytelling and dialogue are essential to contemporary art practice. Many of the artworks on display incorporate elements from the artists’ own life stories or historical narratives, and invite the visitor to consider their own histories and responses to the works.

The 19 participating millennial-generation artists from countries including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Mexico, have developed work that creates new worlds and realities, inviting spectators to engage in narratives through a multitude of media: painting, sculpture, installation, textile, video, sound, digital, and performance art.

Reflecting this theme of interaction between artist and audience, the exhibition title is inspired by a proverb from Brazil. "Quem conta um conto, aumenta um ponto" directly translates to "who tells a tale, adds a point," stressing the significance of pushing the momentum forward by continuing a conversation, something each of the featured artists strive to do through their work.
