Artist María María Acha-Kutscher presents LA LUZ VIOLETA, a solo exhibition at the Espai d’Art Contemporani de Castelló (EACC), on view from 20 November 2026 to 4 April 2027.
Through drawing and photographic collage, Acha-Kutscher develops an artistic practice centred on the exploration of women's collective memory and the demands of contemporary feminist movements. Her work involves the creation of extensive visual archives that recover experiences, narratives and representations often absent from official history, transforming them into tools for critical reflection and political struggle.
The exhibition takes its title from violet light, a symbol of feminism and women's historical memory, and brings together five of the artist's long-term projects for the first time: Womankind, Llapanchik, Reimagining Aging, Indignadas and Herstorymuseum. Each project explores different visual languages and approaches to the representation of women. The exhibition also includes images produced specifically for this occasion.
The works engage in dialogue around the female condition, women's collective memory and the different experiences that shape their lives, from ageing and relationships with men to their positions in the face of major global conflicts. Together, they offer a reflection on the multiple forms of representation, resistance and activism that have shaped the history and continue to inform the present of feminist movements.
