Albraehe’s work dialogues with Guadalupe Maravilla’s La alegría del fuego, a sculptural altar infused with his personal history. As a former undocumented migrant and cancer survivor, Maravilla creates work that transforms trauma into a tool for healing. His Disease Throwers series combines objects from his own migration route, along with medicinal elements and sound instruments, to create spaces for collective care. Accompanied by volcanic rock sculptures of backpacks, Maravilla’s altar becomes an active site of renewal and healing, where past suffering is acknowledged but reframed as a source of strength. Nohemí Pérez returns our focus to the land. Her large-scale charcoal drawings and embroidered textiles evoke the scars left on regions where war, industry, and migration have reshaped both territory and lives. In her Nobody’s Land series, created during a residency in Texas, Pérez confronts the U.S.-Mexico border as another contested space. Families in transit, children in limbo—her haunting depictions speak of vulnerability, but also of the enduring presence of those left out of official narratives.
