Time Out says

Peruvian artist Fátima Rodrigo Gonzalez examines the colonial narratives behind our pop culture obsessions

Multi-disciplinary Peruvian artist Fátima Rodrigo Gonzalez corrals sculpture, drawing and video work to examine the impact of modernism and colonialism on Latin American art, architecture and pop culture.

Melding these ideas with an exploration of gender identity, she takes nothing for granted, subverting and queering the status quo. Interrogating violence against women and non-binary people, she also questions the cultural appropriation of consumer culture, including our fast fashions.

What does modernity mean? And how does that relate to the relationship between the coloniser and the colonised? Gonzalez will get you thinking Artspace with this new exhibition of exciting work at Artspace, which recreates the iconic set from beloved 1960s Latin TV show Sabado Gigante (Gigantic Saturday).
