At Fridman Gallery, **CÓDICE •• SOBREVIVIENDO A LA PERSECUCIÓN / CODEX •• SURVIVING THE PERSECUTION** unfolds as a live exhibition event, with featured performer **Arleene Correa Valencia**. The work frames persecution as something recorded and carried, using the idea of a “codex” to suggest testimony, archive, and survival across time. In New York, where migration histories and state power are daily subjects, it lands as a local conversation rather than an abstract theme. Its most pointed move is treating the gallery as a site of witness, not refuge.
