Laura Escallada Allende's 'El agua son dos manos' at Espacio Alexandra

exhibition · 2026-07-31

Espacio Alexandra in Santander hosts Laura Escallada Allende's project 'El agua son dos manos' until July 31, 2026. The exhibition, inspired by Raquel Martínez Muñoz's poetry collection 'No un cuerpo', explores the transformation of words into images and bodily experiences into material forms. It features ceramic sculptures, paintings, drawings, and mural compositions that trace states of matter and human experience, with the body as a territory of memory, vulnerability, and change. Many pieces derive from body molds created during a collective action tied to the book launch, now reworked into hybrid human-animal figures.
