exhibition · 2026-04-23

From May 18 to September 29, 2017, Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa held a solo exhibition at the CAPC Musée d'Art Contemporain in Bordeaux, France. This event, highlighted in the September 2017 edition of artpress magazine (issue 447, page 23), was a notable milestone in the artist's career. The CAPC, which has been showcasing contemporary art since the 1970s in a repurposed warehouse, often presents 3-4 major exhibitions each year, enriching the contemporary art scene in the region. Ramírez-Figueroa's artistic practice delves into themes of memory, history, and cultural identity, frequently reflecting Guatemalan folklore and history. This exhibition came after his involvement in the 2016 Berlin Biennale and before his participation in the 2019 Venice Biennale.
