Wrapped around the eastern slopes of the Pichincha volcano, in the Guayllabamba River basin, Quito, Ecuador is a 16th century city and a thriving modern day metropolis. In the city’s La Floresta neighborhood, artists and writers mix with entrepreneurs and digital nomads. Together, the collage and photographs in the exhibition touch upon themes ranging from the role of murals and poetry in Ecuadorian culture to issues of the safety of women; and how indigenous people are shaping their country’s future. The exhibition traces the role collage plays in art community building and offers a counternarrative to the portrayal of Latin America as in a state of constant crisis. Where The Sun Casts No Shadow: Postcards from the Creative Crossroads of Quito, Ecuador is a testament to the power of artist communities.
