HUITACA: A FEMININE FORCE
April 25 – July 26, 2025
Elvira Moreno Gallery – Bogotá, Colombia
Elvira Moreno Gallery is pleased to present the exhibition Huitaca: A Feminine Force, a project led by Elvira Moreno (Gallery Director) and Francisco Arévalo (Director of the Exhibitions Program), who commissioned British curator Louise O’Kelly—founder of Block Universe (London)—to develop this deeply feminist, spiritual, and territorial curatorial proposal.
Inspired by Huitaca, the moon goddess from the Muisca civilization—symbol of wisdom, rebellion, and transformation—the exhibition brings together six foundational artists of contemporary Latin American art. Through performance, textile, installation, and spiritual aesthetics, their works confront systems of control while affirming ancestral and embodied knowledge.
Participating artists:
Ana Mendieta (Cuba): Pioneer of feminist art; her works are held in MoMA, Museo Reina Sofía, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
Delcy Morelos (Colombia): Participant in the 2022 Venice Biennale; collections include Tate Modern and MAMM.
Regina José Galindo (Guatemala): Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale; exhibitions at Documenta, Guggenheim, and Centre Pompidou.
Claudia Alarcón & Silät (Argentina): Participants in the 60th Venice Biennale (2024); textile installation created by over 100 women from the Wichí indigenous collective.
Florencia Sadir (Argentina): Participant in the São Paulo Biennial; works in Fundación Proa and the Buenos Aires Museum of Modern Art.
Rebecca Sharp (Brazil): A multidisciplinary artist whose work fuses surrealism with philosophical, spiritual, and meditative practices. Through painting, installation, and music, she creates portals into invisible realities, connecting the earthly with the astral.
Huitaca proposes a space of communion between the visible and the invisible, the political and the sacred, the earthly and the cosmic. Louise O’Kelly’s curatorial vision weaves these voices together into a symbolic constellation that challenges colonial, patriarchal, and rational structures.
The exhibition will be on view from April 25 to July 26, 2025, at Elvira Moreno Gallery in Bogotá.
