Less time than place
This exhibition was commanded by the Goethe Institute to commemorate the bicentennial of the independence of Spain, which the American nations were successively celebrating as of 2009. Taking as a starting point The Letter from Jamaica, a text by Simón Bolívar, each artist made a piece by revising those words that were written in 1815 as a call to build a politically united continent and contrasting them with various local realities, stories, myths and problems.
