In a discussion within the exhibition space, artist and painter Ximena Ferrer Pizarro and curator Christiane Remm open up new perspectives on the exhibition.

Ximena Ferrer Pizarro (b. Lima, Peru) draws from a collection of autoethnographic and communal narratives to paint sensitive and energetic scenes in which her figures confront the viewer. Some cry, others enjoy life fearlessly, yet all struggle for the visibility historically denied to them. Between autofiction, collective memory, and the dramatic-humorous language of telenovelas, Ximena Ferrer Pizarro raises simple yet profound questions. She understands her practice as an act of everyday resistance. With a fearless directness that does not shy away from the personal, her work engages with class institutions and colonial power structures — as well as the deep wounds these leave behind in bodies. Her scenes transcend the Latin American context, addressing universal themes such as belonging, colonial trauma, and intersectional feminism. Within them, she presents imperfect, often anthropomorphic figures who tell their own micropolitical stories — complex, weird, and funny.

Christiane Remm is a research scholar and the collection curator of the Karl and Emy Schmidt-Rottluff Foundation at the Brücke-Museum.
