Armando Mariño is recognised as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Latin American art. His practice, imbued with sharp social awareness and rich visual poetry, adeptly navigates themes of migration, identity, and resilience, presenting them with both humour and conviction. Relocating from his early years in Cuba to Spain and now New York, Mariño transforms the concept of displacement into a potent language of strength and belonging. Known for his vivid compositions, Mariño explores the tension between memory and reinvention.

Juliette Minchin (b. 1992) lives in Paris, where she developed her sculpture, installation, video, and drawing practice. She graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in scenography and Beaux-Arts de Paris, where she stages her work using materials, light, smell, and sound.
The use of natural materials (plaster, earth, wax or liquid) gives her sculptures an undeniably organic dimension, whose surface is close in its appearance of the skin. The repetition of the same gesture and the random evolution of the material gives them a processual aspect.
