This is your Heart was proud to participate in the first edition of the Geneva Art Week at Mabe Gallery in the Old Town (12-15 September) with a joint exhibition entitled “Poetic Interconnectedness".   

Geneva-based Swiss- Uruguayan contemporary artist Daniel Orson Ybarra and rising artist of the contemporary African art scene Ana Silva (Angola) offered a colourful yet deep interpretation of interconnectedness of all life. Ana Silva presented a series of impacting masks installations realized in situ, during a residency with This is your Heart in a successful attempt to reinterpret cultural heritage, revealing the rich multiple identities and powerful contemporaneity of African art today.

Both artists use a process of polysemic construction in fragments, unveiling visible and unvisible bonds. A poetic vision, inspired by nature and the organic essence of all things in Ybarra's work and by filiation and living memories in Ana Silva's.  Formal explorations are different but echo each others to reveal a holistic universe of interconnectedness and common memories.
