Somers Gallery, LATAMesa and INTEMPERIE present ‘and so the broken mend
themselves’, a group exhibition at Somers Gallery presenting the work of Alejandra

The six-week exhibition brings together the work of six Latin American women artists whose
practices span painting, sculpture, textile, graphic art and performance, engaging
with notions of mending, both as a technical act and a poetic symbol.
Through an exploration of materiality andtechniques passed down through generations,

for narratives of resilience, transformation, andthe continuous negotiation of identity.
The exhibition also examines varied approaches to the artisticgesture, revealing
its power as a means to navigate and articulate these themes.
