LA CHOLA POBLETE: "THEY EXPECT A VICTIM, I GIVE THEM A DIVA"
La Chola Poblete (Guaymallén, Argentina, 1989) has established herself as one of the major names to watch in Latin American art. Her practice, visually striking in its simplicity and impact, draws us into a body of work that emerges from a dialogue between the body, the street, the everyday, and a persistent idea that art should be understood as action. Emerging from the underground and popular culture, her visual language takes shape through painting, drawing, and materials capable of extending the performative activity through the artist’s own process of transformation.

With references to Baroque, Pop Art, Andean cosmology, music, fashion, and political protest, the exhibition at MASP encourages reflection on gender, colonialism, and the Chola identity.
