Exhibitions

Desarraigos (Solo)

The exhibition Desarraigos came to life on June 3, 2017. This exhibition consists of components such as algae, photography and video. It exposes distinct elements that intertwine with the Tarapaca region.

Postrauma (Group)

In this exhibition, each part shows trauma and the multiple expressions that come with it. Gonzalez does this exhibition alongside Jorge Brantmayer, Victor Castillo, Angie Saiz and Mexican artist Joaquin Segura. This exhibition was made to reflect that, aside from all the hidden fear and other social symptoms, a way of being able to maintain a livable life is developed.
