I Remember How it Feels to be Made of Flesh

What happens when the thorn turns against the rose?

In I Remember How it Feels to be Made of Flesh, Australian artist Ida Sophia brings together installation, performance, and sculptural works that trace how pain and endurance are passed down through matrilineal lines. From her grandmother’s and mother’s rose gardens, the thorn emerges as a recurring figure — protective and wounding, resilient yet restrictive.

A Tyranny of Small Decisions is a walkable field of resin thorns: 45 rose-thorn stems form a pathway that grows denser as you move through it. It reflects how small decisions compound over time, entangling us in situations we never anticipated — yet there is always an exit, an opportunity to look back and choose another path.

Maternajes Transfronterizos

Maternajes Transfronterizos (Maternalities Across Borders) is an experimental photographic project by Chilean artist Gabriela Rivera Lucero , exploring motherhood, caregiving, and migration through a feminist and decolonial lens. It was developed during her participation in the Nest Residency in Coswig (Anhalt) in 2023.

Drawing on her own experience as a migrant mother and artist in Spain, Rivera Lucero portrays mothers and caregivers from the Global South living in rural Almedíjar and Alto Palancia. In a safe photographic space, participants share memories and rituals, while the filmsoup technique — soaking film in organic materials such as tea, fruit, wine, and flowers — turns each image into an alchemical act.

Territorial Bodies

Territorial Bodies challenges the understanding of the body as merely physical, presenting it instead as a landscape shaped by histories of movement, displacement, violence, and reclamation. Curated by Marcela Villanueva, the exhibition brings together five feminist and decolonial artists whose works explore the intersections between corporeality and geography, memory and migration, identity and belonging.

Through photography, performance, installation, and mixed media, the works construct counter-narratives that confront imposed structures of control over both the body and space.
