The exhibition 'Marina Vargas: Revelations' is part of the Museo Thyssen's 'Kora' program, promoting contemporary women artists. It delves into the historical silencing of women, particularly in spiritual contexts, using figures like Mary Magdalene to reveal concealed contributions through a contemporary lens.
As part of the Museo Thyssen's 'Kora' program, which aims to increase the visibility of contemporary women artists from a gender perspective, 'Marina Vargas: Revelations' showcases the work of Marina Vargas (born Granada, 1980). The exhibition centers on Vargas's research into the historical silencing of women, especially within the realms of the sacred and spiritual. Drawing inspiration from feminist theological studies of figures like Mary Magdalene, Vargas constructs an exhibition argument that re-examines women's roles in art history and biblical narratives through a contemporary viewpoint. The aim is to disrupt the patriarchal silence that has relegated women to the margins, bringing forth their stories and personal experiences. This exhibition presents new work created specifically for the occasion, which Vargas calls 'Revelations,' designed to uncover what has been concealed and offer a fresh perspective. The exhibition is curated by Semíramis González and will also travel to the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Querétaro in Mexico.
