Curatorial Team of the 23rd Paiz Art Biennial Guatemala

Francine Birbragher-Rozencwaig & Juan Canela.

The 23rd Paiz Art Biennial will take place in July 2023 with a curatorial team formed by Francine Birbragher-Rozencwaig Ph.D. (Chicago, United States, 1965. Lives and works between Miami and Bogota) and Juan Canela (Seville, Spain; 1980. Lives and works between Panama City and Mexico City), focusing on new horizons with the interest of becoming an inclusive platform for regional dialogue. The Biennial will bring special attention to the diverse temporalities and spatialities that can weave the link between writing and orality with the idea of community with the territory by articulating narratives that challenge the hegemonic narrative but also imagining futures that delve into the possibilities of joint lives.
