Curated by Florencia Portocarrero
In its 2025 edition, RADAR presents five artistic proposals —organized as solos, duos, and trios— that, from critical and poetic perspectives, address urgent issues of our shared present, while also nurturing some of the most relevant discussions in contemporary Latin American art. Among them are the recovery and re-signification of ancestral knowledge through the exploration of artisanal techniques; a questioning of art history through the tracing of genealogies and influences among women artists; and a reflection on extractivism—particularly in relation to mineral resources—transformed through the visibility of multispecies interdependence as an essential dimension of our existence.
The artists participating in RADAR act as visual storytellers of our time. Their works can be understood as material rearticulations of relationships that would otherwise remain silenced or fragmented. The languages they employ—painting, drawing, sculpture, textiles, photography, and installation—are hybridized and enhanced as they enter into dialogue with one another, revealing that artistic practice is not only a way of inhabiting the present with commitment, but also a path toward building collective memory and critical thought.

Florencia Portocarrero (Lima, 1981)
Interdependent curator. Inside and beyond institutions, her cultural practice intertwines writing, teaching and the organization of exhibitions and public programs. Her research interests focus on how to rewrite art history from a feminist perspective, the questioning of hegemonic forms of knowledge and the processes of subjectivization within the neoliberal economy. Originally trained as a clinical psychologist with a psychoanalytic orientation, between 2012 and 2013, Portocarrero participated in the Curatorial Program at de Appel Arts Centre in Amsterdam, and in 2015 she completed a second MA in Contemporary Art Theory at Goldsmiths University in London. She has lectured at various international institutions and her writings on art and culture appear regularly in specialized magazines and publications. In Lima, she has worked as curator of proyectoamil's public program (2015-2019), was curatorial advisor to the Contemporary Art Acquisitions Committee of the Museo de Arte de Lima-MALI (2018-2020) and is a professor in the Masters in Art History and Curatorship at the PUCP. Since 2014 she is co-director of Bisagra: an art collective in which she has worked in collaboration with artists and professionals from different fields and backgrounds to carry out politically engaged and socially sensitive art projects.
