Yina Jiménez Suriel's research project 'la historia de las montañas' explores emancipation through ocean imaginaries
Yina Jiménez Suriel, a curator born in 1994 in La Vega, Dominican Republic, is currently working on the project 'la historia de las montañas' (2019-present), which delves into themes of emancipation and symbolic frameworks through aesthetic exploration. This project examines human perception and the ocean to challenge conventional subjectivities, featuring works such as 'de montañas submarinas el fuego hace islas' and 'otras montañas, las que andan sueltas bajo el agua.' It receives support from Pivô, KADIST, Delfina Foundation, and TBA21-Academy. Jiménez Suriel serves as the TBA21–Academy The Current IV Curatorial Fellow and Adjunct Curator for the 14th Mercosul Biennial (2024). The project's concluding chapter will take place at KADIST San Francisco (Oct 2023-Feb 2024), Delfina Foundation (Jan-Mar 2024), and Museum of Contemporary Art and Design Manila (Feb 2024).
