The Heart of the City?

This exhibition joined the work of two contemporary Peruvian artists under one question: Where does the heart of a city lie?

Both artists worked with the theme of identity, urban landscapes and the effects of social modernisation within cities. They examined modern cities that are mostly built by immigrants; cities in a constant state of flux, their origins an increasingly distant memory, their newest residents - and the foundations of a city's future - experiencing marginalised social and geographical realities.

This project sought to examine and interpret individual and collective identities, how these identities are constructed, cultural repertoires and social contexts in the cities.
