PARA/normal Borders at Casa la línea
October 22 - Dec 3, 2026
This exhibition presents works that address themes related to aliens, migration and detention, and the mechanisms used to document both phenomena. Through painting, sculpture, video, and installation, the artists explore these subjects, prompting questions about otherness. The exhibition develops a discourse centered on memory, the affirmation of human dignity, and the oral histories evoked by the images.
Participating Artists/Artistas Participantes: Edgar Fabián Frías, Santiago Nuñez, Alicia Soto Alvarez, Kiyo Gutierrez

a small ocean swallowed brings together artworks that embody a sense of ecological entwinement, poetically and experimentally reorienting human relationships to water. The exhibition features work by six intergenerational and international feminist artists: Sholeh Asgary, Patricia Belli, Kiyo Gutiérrez, Jessie Homer French, Erin Jane Nelson, and Sunaura Taylor. Curated by Talia Heiman.
LACE is proud to present the 2026 edition of Artists Film International (AFI’26), a touring film program which is collectively curated and presented by seventeen international arts organizations and convened by Forma. AFI’26 introduces the work of talented moving image artists to worldwide audiences, and will be live over 300 days, with exhibitions, screenings and public programs hosted across four continents.
AFI’26 invites artists to respond to these shifting conditions: to examine the politics of witnessing and being watched; to confront the legacies of race, gender, class, and empire that continue to structure perception; and to imagine forms of resistance, opacity, and care within contemporary visual culture. LACE’s selection for AFI’26 is nepantlera (2025) by Kiyo Gutiérrez.
