A glimpse into UNTRANSLATED.

This week at Basel 2026, we’re proud to present what is one of the most cohesive and conceptually strong curatorial presentations at the fair.

Bringing together four women artists from the Global South, UNTRANSLATED explores memory, identity, materiality, and cultural transmission through powerful and distinct visual languages.

In an era shaped by AI and constant digital mediation, the exhibition feels deeply spiritually awakening, offering a space for reflection, presence, and connection to forms of knowledge and experience that resist translation and oversimplification.

If you’re visiting Basel Art Week, stop by Stand D4 and spend some time with these remarkable works.

We’re delighted to be at Basel 2026, from 17–21 June.

Our shared curatorial project, ‘UNTRANSLATED’, brings together four women artists whose practices explore how memory is carried beyond archives and written histories — through materials, landscapes, rituals, spirituality, and inherited forms of making.

Featuring:
· (Spain / Equatorial Guinea)
· (Brazil)
· .mahrou.art (Iran)
· (Brazil)

At a time when conversations around identity, displacement, memory, and cultural heritage continue to shape contemporary discourse, ‘UNTRANSLATED’ foregrounds perspectives emerging from the Global South and its diasporas, creating dialogue across geographies, generations, and lived experiences.

Colomba Fontaine (b. 1987) is a visual artist based in Santiago, Chile. Her work engages with themes of identi-ty, memory, and emotional states, often dissolving the figure into fragmented or atmospheric fields.
