Our Place in These Worlds, at Elizabeth Xi Bauer, is an artist-led touring exhibition featuring works by Esvin Alarcón Lam, Antonio Pichillá Quiacaín, and Simón Vega. Curated by Maria do Carmo M. P. de Pontes, the show is shaped through non-hierarchical collaboration and takes a collective, non-authoritarian approach centred on exchange. Challenging dominant Eurocentric ideas of belonging, Our Place in These Worlds engages with histories of colonisation and migration while resisting exoticisation and fixed notions of identity, opening space for shifting perspectives. The show considers how ideologies shape the ways worlds—and the lives within them—are imagined. In the context of ongoing debates around migration and cultural polarisation, Our Place in These Worlds advocates for more nuanced and relational approaches to identity. While some works have been part of the project since its first iteration in 2023, others are presented here for the first time.
