La Chola Poblete: Guaymallén
08.09.2023 Guaymallén is a municipality in the province of Mendoza in Argentina. It was here that La Chola Poblete, Deutsche Bank’s “Artist of the Year” 2023, was born as Mauricio Poblete in 1989. The exhibition titled Guaymallén is a tribute to her roots, to the time when she was growing up as a non-binary, indigenous teenager, a time when La Chola began to draw, explore art and pop culture, and experiment with her queer identity. At Palais Populaire, Berlin. Until February 5, 2024
