Historical Note
Exhibit description, quoted from the exhibit catalog:
"Inauditas: Tracing the Sound of Migrant Memories in Venezuelan Woman Photographers is the first part of a multi-stages community-engagement project that results from the combination of two ongoing researches, "Grammars of Listening" (Acosta) and "Poetics of Migrant Memories" (Cardona), each devoted to exploring how aesthetic strategies address one of the pernicious effects of "traumatic violence" - the breakdown/rupture of means to make the inflicted harm audible. These two projects coalesce in an exhibition on migrant photography and photography of migration, focusing specifically on Venezuelan migration from 2016 to 2022. The exhibition brings together the artwork of seven Venezuelan migrant women artists and interviews in which they share their own experiences of migration. The common thread of the exhibition is the challenge that each of these works poses to a notion of photography that reduces it to the 'visual', while disorganizing a traditional notion of the 'audible' that takes away its 'auratic' effects, thus reinforcing the experience of photography as one of listening."
