The Land Rises is a group exhibition that brings together the work of five artists whose artistic and research-based practices engage with geographies and landscapes beyond Mexico City. Their works emerge from specific territories where the land is not only material but also heritage—linked to the transmission of knowledge, techniques, and practices connected to the living: casting metal, preparing clay, weaving fibers, picking cotton, and planting.

By stating that the earth rises, the reference is not only to the agency inherent in matter but also to its alchemical transmutation: metals that melt, soils overturned by the plow, veins that become fiber, and metallurgical residues that transform into pigments.

Each installation refers to a specific ecosystem—Baja California, Michoacán, Oaxaca, and Coahuila—revealing how mining, agriculture, and other forms of human intervention alter the geological flows of these landscapes and, at the same time, how these artistic practices bring forward new readings and sensitivities toward them.

Artists:
Tania Bello, Brenda Virginia Castro, Miguel Cinta Robles, Perla Mata Chairez and Guadalupe Alonso Vidal.
