No te creo

Regina José Galindo's pieces never leave anyone indifferent because she always sticks her finger in one of those purulent sores that humanity has yet to heal. That finger points directly to power and to those who, whether we are aware of it or not, lead us along paths far from freedom. One of the most significant qualities of Galindo's critical projects is that she does not insist on putting her focus on the executor, much less on the victim, but rather on those individuals and organizations that possess the domain code and hierarchy to govern the content and direction of the diabolical, anachronistic, interested, perverse and absolutely premeditated superstructures that control the world. Regina José Galindo is a brave artist who defies the real culprits regardless of their power. She also alludes to their collaborators who, because of ignorance, malice, alienation, or submission, do not question their acts or the system that protects, manipulates, and encourages them. From this critical standpoint, we began to develop an exhibition project for ADN Galeria Barcelona, that shows an extensive array of works by Regina José Galindo. Years of action and research take the form of a proposal entitled No te creo (I don't believe you) to address issues that directly appeal to the feminist struggle, empowerment of women, and gender equality. A selection of (combat) pieces from the period between 1999 to 2022 serve as evidence that, although power disguises it in a thousand ways, very little progress has been made on issues that should be transcendental.
