\nAbout the Exhibition
\n‘Planeta Abuelx’ is a solo exhibition of new work by artist https:\/\/socratessculpturepark.org\/artist\/guadalupe-maravilla\/Guadalupe Maravilla drawing on ancestral, Indigenous, and ritual practices of healing. Maravilla\u2019s sculptures are an accumulation of totemic forms, recycled and found materials, botanicals, Mesoamerican symbolism, and functional sound components.<\/p>\n
The title, expanding the idea of \u201cMother Earth\u201d into the intergenerational, gender neutral, and open-ended \u201cGrandparent Planet,\u201d points to Maravilla\u2019s framing of intimate familial relationships and passage of time as crucial to the restorative process. The installation of works serves as an homage to our elders, not only as a vulnerable group disproportionally lost to illness including Covid-19, but also as keepers of curative ancestral knowledge passed down through generations.<\/p>\n
Informed by personal experiences of migration and illness, Maravilla\u2019s practice and his exhibition at Socrates invites the public to more broadly consider how we \u2013 as communities and individuals \u2013 begin rehabilitation and renewal from collective traumas, including the Covid-19 pandemic and continued white supremacist violence. Maravilla\u2019s focus on mutual and holistic care are in harmony with Socrates as a waterfront park, a sheltered green space, and place of community.
