La Chola Poblete (Guaymallén, Argentina, 1989) creates performances, drawings,photographs, and videos. In her work, she uses her body and biography to explore the complexities of chola identity. This term is used to describe mixed-race women of indigenous descent in Latin America. She also addresses the colonial legacies in the Andean region. These legacies include violence against the Queer population and racially marginalized groups, to which she belongs. The exhibition consists of many previously unseen works in various media, including large-scale watercolors functioning as mental maps, staged photographs, and pieces blending pop iconography with pre-Columbian imagery. Based on a manifesto by the artist, the project questions the categories that frame her body and work. It affirms hybrid identities and the possibility of continuous transformation and fluidity. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition in Brazil.
