Maria Candelaria Traverso's 'Un Cubo' to debut at SUMMA Mallorca 2026, exploring global systems through plastic sacks

Maria Candelaria Traverso will present her solo exhibition 'Un Cubo' at SUMMA Mallorca 2026, organized by The Southern Art Hub. The show will later travel to Pueblo Español. Traverso's practice originates from the Quebrada de Humahuaca region in northern Argentina, where she examines everyday infrastructures to uncover their political and symbolic layers. At a time when global systems of extraction, circulation, and value face increased examination, her work provides a materially precise and conceptually grounded critique. Central to 'Un Cubo' is the plastic sack, a common object tied to worldwide economies of transport, labor, and consumption. This material, drawn from the artist's firsthand involvement with informal markets, serves as both the starting point and conceptual core of the exhibition. It is neither incidental nor merely illustrative in her approach.
