Orocobix: Memory of the First Mountain

TEA Tenerife Espacio de las Artes hosts the exhibition "Orocobix. Memories of the First Mountain," by the artist Jorge González and curated by Michy Marxuach. Through his work, González not only reinterprets traditional artisan techniques but also challenges conventional academic norms by exploring the transformation of energy into matter and the intricate relationships between art, territory, and the body. Marxuach, renowned for her critical and reflective approach to promoting contemporary art, frames the exhibition with an inquiry into dominant narratives and the appreciation of alternative forms of knowledge rooted in specific territories, allowing visitors to reflect on memory and ancestral connections through artisanal processes that link the geographies of Central America, the Caribbean, and the Canary Islands, offering a sensory and conceptual experience that raises profound questions about identity and cultural heritage in the current global context.
