Her Land

Throughout history, the presence of women in art has faced countless challenges. Achieving visibility has required the sustained efforts of institutions, governments, collectors, and museums that have taken on the task of balancing the global artistic narrative.

Today, the Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) and MIA Art Collection celebrate this strategic alliance that transcends borders, contributing to the recognition and positioning of women artists from the Americas on the global stage.

MOLAA is the only museum in the United States exclusively dedicated to modern and contemporary Latin American and Latino art. Proudly accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, MOLAA is approaching its 30th anniversary with a vision and a sustainable cultural and social commitment. The institution continuously works to promote and position knowledge and the diverse heritage of the growing influence of Latin American art in the international landscape.

MOLAA’s permanent collection is recognized for its breadth and the quality of its artists. With over 1,600 works of art, it represents more than 24 countries across the Americas, as well as Latino artists residing in the United States. The collection includes a variety of media, styles, and periods, spanning painting, sculpture, textiles, works on paper, video, and photography.

MIA Art Collection, on the other hand, is dedicated exclusively to art created by women and has established its presence in the Middle East for over six years. Known for its international projects, this collection not only highlights female talent in art but also emphasizes the need to continue fostering excellence and visibility for artistic creation across generations.

This joint exhibition reflects the diverse creative and philosophical ways of thinking and redefining today’s world through the vision of a group of internationally recognized women artists. Their contributions extend beyond the modern and contemporary art community, offering a profound exploration of diversity and identity that transcends borders. These artists, from different generations and cultural backgrounds, create connections between experiences and worlds, opening pathways to new perspectives.

Hand in hand with artists such as Leonora Carrington, Doris Salcedo, Ana Mendieta, Patssi Valdez, Betsabee Romero,  Yolanda Gonzalez, Raquel Paiewonsky, Maria Bonomi and Belkis Ayón Manso, we assist the feminine search through art as a constant and current interpellation where questions can be glimpsed in each portrait, scene, object, strangeness, generated by the dialogue with the intimate inventory in the modern and contemporary scene.

This is  Her land, The creation of Latin American artists, a poetic map full of beauty but also of persistence and self-confidence. A journey that enables us to connect with the matrix of female creation with outstanding artists of our time.

We invite you to explore this unique exhibition. MOLAA & MIA.
