ROSE MARIE CROMWELL
Showing work from El Libro Supremo de la Suerte

El Libro Supremo de la Suerte, Rose Marie Cromwell offers a profound exploration of Havana through photographs taken over seven years. The title, meaning "The Supreme Book of Luck," references the charadas—booklets used to interpret everyday objects and experiences into numbers for a covert lottery system in Havana. Cromwell draws parallels between this practice and her photography, describing how ordinary moments like "a turtle on the sidewalk" or "a can of red paint" became meaningful and monumental through her lens. The book’s design, mirrors Havana's chaotic and multisensorial essence, reflecting the randomness of both the lottery and life itself. For Cromwell, this work represents a personal and artistic coming of age, as well as a tribute to the symbols and experiences that shaped her understanding of the city.

Through richly colored and evocative imagery, Cromwell captures the intimacy of her connection with Havana, rejecting objectivity and embracing her role as both observer and participant. Cromwell’s work lyrically intertwines the precision of numbers with the mysticism of luck, celebrating a culture that defies easy interpretation. Co-published by Light Work, the book received the Light Work Photobook Award 2018, which honors emerging and underrepresented artists deserving of international recognition. El Libro Supremo de la Suerte is both an homage to Havana and a testament to Cromwell’s deeply personal and immersive artistic practice.

ADAMA DELPHINE FAWUNDU
Showing work from For Mama Adama Hymns & Parables

For Mama Adama Hymns & Parables In these large-scale hanging works, Fawundu manifests her grandmother's presence, incorporating hand-dyed and batik Garra fabrics from Mama Adama's thriving textile business in Sierra Leone. These pieces are created from large film negatives and positives through labor-intensive, camera-less photographic processes. Reflecting on her process, Fawundu states, “So much of this work is about creating new patterns and new languages while activating my body and ancestral memory. My process includes allowing my body to move intuitively as it performs and makes gestures through these camera-less photographic processes.” The completed pieces incorporate a mélange of materials and techniques such as photo lumens, cyanotypes, screen printing, mixed media on Guinea Brocade textiles, and cotton paper. The materiality of the work and the layered compositions speak to the complex nature of identities and the multifaceted connections between the African continent and its diaspora.

RODRIGO VALENZUELA
Showing work from Garabatos and Mueca

Garabatos series draws inspiration from his research into Latin American subcultures and music scene during the dictatorship years, in the aftermath of Operation Condor, a CIA lead initiative aimed to neutralize socialist agendas in South America by creating a web of cooperation among military regimes. Utilizing archival images, magazines, and films, Valenzuela isolates bodily gestures, transforming these documentary scenes into a unique visual language. By recreating and photographing these movements as abstract sculptures, he conjures a haunting reflection on collective memory and the visceral expression of suppressed voices.

Muecas, a series of white ceramic sculptures mounted on aluminum pipes and metal armatures. Created by casting Valenzuela’s own hands in contorted, ambiguous poses, these sculptures capture unrecognized gestures of human expression. According to Valenzuela, these works serve as “motions of desire” and contribute to a “collective lexicon” that reflects the effort to communicate from positions of powerlessness.
