Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa: Lugarde Consuelo (Place of Solace)
About This Event
At MoMA Exhibitions, Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa presents Lugar de Consuelo (Place of Solace), a project that brings his drawing, printmaking, sculpture, video and performance practices into a single exhibition. His work returns to the social aftershocks of Guatemala’s civil war, treating objects and costumes as witnesses and staging slow, measured actions that let political history and personal memory occupy the same frame.
About Lugarde Consuelo (Place of Solace)
Shown at MoMA Exhibitions, *Lugarde Consuelo (Place of Solace)* unfolds as a live presentation situated between exhibition and performance, with Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa at its center. The work treats refuge as both an idea and a physical condition, drawing on memory, displacement, and the small rituals people build to endure upheaval. In New York, its placement inside a museum underscores how contemporary art is increasingly staged in real time rather than fixed on a wall. One clear implication is that “solace” here is provisional, shaped as much by institutions as by personal need.
