Until next March 7, Casa América presents the collective exhibition Fronteras móviles. Latin American art in circulation, which brings together artists from Latin American galleries participating in the JUST Latam 2026 section of the Contemporary Art Fair JUSTMAD.
The exhibition proposes thinking about contemporary Latin American art from the experience of transit, movement and constant transformation of territories, bodies and identities. Intermediate spaces in which borders -geographical, cultural, social or symbolic- become unstable, permeable and, in many cases, productive.
This exhibition, curated by María Lightowler and Óscar García García, brings together artists from Latin American galleries participating in the JUST Latam 2026 section of the Contemporary Art Fair JUSTMAD (March 5-8), and is part of a sustained collaboration between the fair and Casa de América.
Under the conceptual axis of Diffuse Borders: territories, identities and bodies in contemporary Latin American art, the assembled works approach the body as an archive of historical, political and emotional experiences; the territory as a cultural construction in permanent redefinition; and displacement as a central condition of our time, both in its political and aesthetic dimension. Here, the border appears not only as a line of separation, but as an active space of negotiation, memory and resistance, where notions of belonging, exclusion and circulation are strained.
The practices presented -from Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Dominican Republic and Venezuela- account for the diversity of languages, materials and positions that crosses contemporary Latin American art. Painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, textile art and graphic work coexist in a journey that does not intend to illustrate a single discourse, but rather to enable multiple readings and approaches, questioning the idea of Latin America as a homogeneous block or a univocal territory. Even when the works do not explicitly address issues such as migration or exile, sensitivities linked to mobility, fragmentation of narrative and reconfiguration of memory emerge.
