“Sometimes, culture becomes the place where everyone finds each other again.” — Betsabeé Romero

In a moment when migration is too often reduced to borders and political rhetoric, Romero reminds us that culture offers another way of understanding movement—through memory, generosity, and shared experience. In Tejiendo Redes, soccer becomes a universal language of encounter, while weaving transforms into a metaphor for the ties that connect us across countries, histories, and identities.

This is the power of socially engaged art: it doesn’t simply represent communities—it creates them, one encounter at a time.

🇲🇽 Proud to celebrate artists like Betsabeé Romero, whose work shows how contemporary Latin American art can turn participation into a form of cultural resistance and collective belonging.

In Tejiendo Redes, Mexican artist Betsabeé Romero invites communities to choose their own colors and learn to weave these goals together from scratch—no previous experience required.

As the nets take shape, Romero brings contemporary football into conversation with the pre-Hispanic ballgame. Ancient players become part of the weave, connecting past and present through a shared act of making.

describes this as a “domain of exchanges” -where the value of an artwork lies not only in the object itself, but in the relationships it generates.

Every completed goal carries the names of its weavers and a map linking it to the others created across Mexico, the United States, and Canada. None stands alone. Together, they form a living network.

Tejiendo Redes (Weaving Networks) is Betsabeé Romero’s latest project: sculptural soccer goals, woven collectively by migrant communities across Mexico, the United States, and Canada.

These aren’t static sculptures meant to be admired from a distance. They’re built to be activated — through music, poetry, dance, and performance — timed to coincide with the World Cup.

Romero has spent years working with cars, tires, everyday objects — always circling questions of migration, borders, mobility. Here, the soccer goal becomes her newest symbol: something that holds movement, belonging, and collective identity all at once. 🧵⚽️ Betsabeé Romero

One of the most beautiful aspects of Uterus in Uterus is the conversation Delcy Morelos establishes with Victor Horta’s iconic architecture.

Inside the Horta Hall, warm clay meets cold marble; organic matter encounters geometry; the ephemeral stands beside the monumental. Yet she reminds us that these materials are not opposites. Marble and earth share the same origin. Both come from the mountains, from the living ground beneath our feet.

Her installation evokes a nest, a temple, and a womb—a place where one can pause, seek shelter, and reconnect with what sustains life. Sunlight enters through the opening at its summit, making nature itself part of the work.

At the heart of this dialogue lies a profound reflection on transformation. In nature, death nourishes life. What falls to the ground becomes fertile soil. Decay is not an end, but the beginning of another cycle.

Perhaps this is the quiet power of her work: to remind us that, although we cannot erase suffering or undo the violence that exists in the world, we can choose what we transform it into. Like tending a plant, we can turn what is difficult into care, into love, into life. That capacity for transformation may be one of the most powerful acts of resistance we possess.

As the artist reminds us, “If humanity has a future, it is ancestral.”

What if an artwork could be experienced before it is understood?

Delcy Morelos invites us to step in barefoot. The scent of humid earth, cinnamon, cloves, wood, and flowers fills the space, while the warm clay surfaces encourage touch. Our smell, touch, memory, and the body become equally important.

Morelos describes the installation as “a mountain that embraces you”—a place where visitors reconnect with the earth through direct physical experience. It is a reminder that contemporary art can be less about observing an object and more about inhabiting a space that transforms the way we perceive ourselves and our environment.

One of the strengths of Latin American contemporary art is its ability to challenge the way we relate to nature. Delcy Morelos’ new installation at Bozar is a remarkable example.

“For me, matter is alive.” This simple statement by the Colombian artist lies at the heart of her monumental installation Uterus in Uterus.

Working with clay, sand, hay, wood, and spices, Morelos reminds us that the earth is not an inert material but a living presence that nurtures memory, life, and relationships. Drawing from Indigenous knowledge and ancestral cosmologies, she invites us to reconsider our connection with the natural world, not as something separate from us, but as something we belong to.

In a time increasingly shaped by technology and speed, Uterus in Uterus offers a different proposition: to slow down, to listen, and to remember that we are part of the living matter that surrounds us.

250519, acrylic on Dibond panel, 120x90cm Victoria Calleja Marie-Therese Huppertz
Following the loss of her mother in 2020, Victoria turned away from the human figure and toward landscape as a way of reconnecting with memory, belonging, and the natural world.
Inspired by the Chilean volcanic terrains and mineral formations, she developed a striking body of work on large-format Dibond panels.
Through layered acrylic and oil techniques, she creates fluid, luminous compositions where landscape becomes more than a place, it becomes a presence.
These vertical paintings function almost as portraits. Removed from any specific context, the landscapes emerge as characters in their own right, evoking earth, water, air, and fire while expressing both solitude and strength.
Discover Paysages at Berlin Brussels Art Projects until Saturday 20 June.

Victoria Calleja’s paintings invite us to experience landscape not simply as a place, but as an emotional and symbolic territory where nature, memory, and personal history converge.

Diana Valarezo’s work explores memory, displacement, migration, and the search for identity and roots. Throughout her artistic practice, the journey—both emotional and geographical—has remained a central theme, inspiring a body of work that reflects personal transformation and experiences of belonging.

Her recent series, Memory Beings, is an intimate exploration of memory and reconnection with her roots through nature. Working with ceramics, porcelain, painting, and drawing, she creates organic forms and imagined landscapes that evoke childhood memories and the landscapes of her native Ecuador.

Inspired by the interconnectedness found in nature and concepts from quantum physics, Diana’s work bridges micro and macro worlds, from living cells to galaxies. Through these forms, she reflects on the idea that all life is connected, paying homage to her family, her origins, and her enduring relationship with the natural world.
