Join us for Stephanie Ascanio's festive opening, featuring a workshop and music performances

TERRITORIO is a photographic and audiovisual exhibition by Colombian artist Stephanie Ascanio exploring memory, displacement, and the emotional landscapes embedded within urban and ancestral territories.

The exhibition brings together two visual series developed between Colombia and the Netherlands. One follows Abuela Blanca Nieves, an Indigenous woman protecting her ancestral land and traditional knowledge on the outskirts of Bogotá, increasingly surrounded by cement and urban expansion. The second moves through the south of Rotterdam, documenting traces of everyday life near the now-disappeared neighborhood of Wielewaal, exploring transformation, migration, and resistance within the city.

Blending documentary photography, audiovisual experimentation, textiles, and manual intervention, TERRITORIO approaches the image as both archive and living memory.

The opening will include a workshop followed by music performances.

The workshop Stitching Images invites participants to intervene in photographs using needle and thread as an act of collaborative memory-making.  The process will be guided by Stephanie and Johana Molina. Each contribution will become part of the exhibition which will be also open during South Explorer. Reserve your spot via johana.cinecol@gmail.com

The evening continues with music performances by Iván el Terrible, La Pinche Tefi, Dark McDoomsky, Dadaphone (cassette release!), and YoKolina. Expect cumbia and drones.
