PINTA LIMA: TWO CURATORIAL PROJECTS THAT NARRATE THE EVERYDAY ENVIRONMENT
In its 2025 edition, the Latin American contemporary art fair presents, through RADAR and Video Project, a selection of works that engage with key issues of the present—both within the artistic field and beyond it: from questions surrounding the re-signification of ancestral knowledge to reflections on the idiosyncrasies of human nature.

RADAR
Curated by Florencia Portocarrero and organized into solos, duos, and trios, RADAR brings together five projects that delve into urgent issues of the present while also contributing to some of the most relevant conversations in contemporary Latin American art.
The selected proposals explore, among other themes, the recovery of ancestral knowledge through artisanal techniques; a critical revision of art history by tracing links and legacies among women artists; and a perspective on extractivism reimagined through the lens of multispecies interdependence as a vital foundation.

Video Project – Archaeology of the Everyday
The artists selected for this new edition of Video Project, curated by Irene Gelfman, are known for creating works that uncover the complexities of everyday life and expose the contradictions and consequences of contemporary lifestyles.
Andrea Canepa’s work reflects on how institutions support bodies, and how bodies, in turn, uphold institutions. Enrique Pezo, meanwhile, covers his body in rubber to highlight symbols laden with ambiguity.
In her video installation, Gianine Tabja positions the body as an interlocutor between memory and territory. In his video performance, Adrián Sosa delivers a powerful declaration on social inequality in his region, using a deliberately simple aesthetic.
Through a socio-archaeological inquiry into her surroundings, Donna Conlon presents three pieces that reveal the distinctive idiosyncrasies of human behavior, resulting in a work that is both beautiful and unsettling.
The 12th edition of Pinta Lima will take place from April 24 to 27, 2025, at Casa Prado in Lima, Peru.
