Paula Toto Blake's RED (UNIÓN) at Casa Nacional del Bicentenario Explores Migrant Domestic Workers

Argentine artist Paula Toto Blake's exhibition, RED (UNIÓN), is on display at the Casa Nacional del Bicentenario in Buenos Aires from August 12 to October 12, 2026. Curated by Florencia Battiti, this project is inspired by Blake's experiences with migrant women working as domestic helpers. It began in Argentina, later extending to Ciudad de México, and further developed at the Dora Maar House in France. The exhibition includes photographs and audio across three video installations, weaving together the narratives and memories of women in caregiving roles. It underscores the contrast between presence and absence, revealing the dreams and isolation these women endure. Battiti's accompanying text critiques the undervaluation of care work and highlights the sacrifices made by caregivers.
