Rosa Barba always works with celluloid, but she does not do so by yielding to current retro or “vintage” trends. Her approach to film material is far from nostalgic: rather, it is practical, necessary for her experimental purposes, and the ideal medium to give shape to her artistic and philosophical concerns. For this reason, when we propose it, she refuses to have her picture taken posing with the 35 mm and 16 mm film reels she uses for her installation. “It’s fetishistic,” she says. The Italian artist has arrived in Lima to present the exhibition “Evoking a Space Beyond Cinema,” organized by MALI and proyectoamil, curated by José-Carlos Mariátegui.
The Museo de Arte de Lima—MALI and proyectoamil are pleased to present Evoking a Space Beyond Cinema, the first monographic museum exhibition by Rosa Barba in Peru. The exhibition features Aggregate States of Matters (2019), a film shot in the Peruvian Andes with the support of proyectoamil, in addition to a selection of her recent work.
In 2002, Rosa Barba had one of her first exhibitions at the Sala Luis Miro-Quesada Garland in Miraflores (Lima) which started her enduring connection with Peru. During that visit Barba travelled extensively throughout the country, and in 2018 she visited the country again to study and film the communities and territories affected by the melting glaciers of the Andes. Her aerial filming of the Peruvian mountains and deserts acts as a way to read the landscape creating a tapestry that tells a story outside the constraints of linear progression.

Colectivo Amasijo was invited for the second time to develop a culinary experience in Switzerland, which was highlighted by the Engadiner Post newspaper. This collective is made up of a group of women from different parts of what we call Mexico today (Veracruz, Oaxaca, State of Mexico, and Mexico City), united by the desire to actively reflect on the origin and diversity of our food. Founded in 2019, the collective has since served as a platform for non-dominant voices, narratives of women close to the earth, and stories that tell us the real cost of climate change while showing us the path toward earth regeneration.
They cook collectively to share, learn, care for, conserve, and celebrate the (bio)diversity of food. Their projects are aimed at making the interdependence between language, culture, and territory visible. Their research projects take various forms, such as gatherings, dinners, actions, workshops, or ceremonies. The collective creates the necessary structures to establish a community where caring for one another and safeguarding the territory through food is the priority. Since 2022, they have had a kitchen in downtown Mexico City where they cook with ingredients produced by the network of women from the various communities they work with—food that comes from backyards, milpas, and communal land harvesting, transformed in the kitchen and shared at a communal table for ten people.

Rodrigo Cabrera, creative director of Bondage Factory, presents the new collection entitled “Skin Couture”! The collection pays homage to the skin, presenting pieces that stand out for their textures, cuts and even accessories with the shapes of the human body.
Bondage Factory established in 2020 in Lima Peru, is a genderless fashion movement in which, through its creations, it seeks to promote a diverse, free and non-judgmental society. At the core of the brand, textures, silhouettes and materials manage to fuse urban energy with sensuality to create looks that transcend versatility.
This new edition is committed to contributing to the vulnerable trans community in Peru, providing 20% of the sales of the pieces that were made together with the Costa Rican graphic designer ABZYNT, who joined this collaboration to contribute to said community.
In addition, this collection promotes the inclusion of gender, ethnicity and bodies, since it was one of the most important characteristics to take into account during the casting of models. In this collection, we have the collaboration of the artists Zoe g. Serrano, Alejandra Faustino and Stev with whom they have made pieces made of latex, leather fabrics and metal accessories.
The event took place on April 23, 2022, in the main hall of the PROYECTO AMIL Art Gallery.

‘La Carnicería’ returns to proyectoamil with a major contemporary art offering, including a fashion show, music, food, and much more. It runs from April 21 to 23.
In its sixth edition, the independent art fair “La Carnicería” returns to proyectoamil (basement of the Camino Real shopping center) in an in-person format, from April 21 to 23. For this edition, they have brought together thirteen galleries, independent spaces, and collectives that will have their own exhibition spaces for contemporary art.
There will also be the “Salón de la Carne” (Meat Salon), featuring a selection of young artists curated by the organizers and presented in the main rooms of proyectoamil.
In total, more than sixty national and international artists will come together with proposals that challenge traditional formats and, in many cases, lack commercial representation.
Organized by artists María Abaddon and Rodrigo Gómez Olivos, this edition of the fair has been conceived as a total art festival, welcoming artworks in various formats, videos, installations, performances, a fanzine fair, music, and a fashion show featuring the collection “Skin Couture” by Bondage Factory. It serves as a stage for both artistic experimentation and community building.
“La Carnicería” returns to an in-person format
In 2022, following a forced virtual edition, “La Carnicería” solidifies its position as one of the most important platforms for the alternative art scene in Lima. At the same time, the fair reaffirms its commitment to generating a sustainable art ecosystem by promoting the work of young creators and allowing the public to buy art at affordable prices.
The event takes place at Avenida Camino Real 348 (basement of the Camino Real shopping center).

XIMENA GARRIDO-LECCA (PROYECTO AMIL, LIMA, PERU; CURATED BY FLORENCIA PORTOCARRERO AND JOEL YOSS)
Living specimens of the coca plant thrived in Garrido-Lecca’s installation Botanical Readings: Erythroxylum coca, 2019, reminding us that the proscribed leaf may have multiple functions and meanings, articulating transversal dialogues between Peruvian vernacular culture and modern science. It is “a project that cannot travel anywhere” (as the artist put it): Since the plant is illegal across most of the globe, it can only be shown in the nation where it is produced—confined as if its mere existence were a crime.
