No Man’s Art Gallery is honoured to present Los fragmentos que curan, the first solo exhibition of RojoNegro, the artist duo composed of María Sosa and Noé Martínez, with the gallery. Revolving around the performance of rituals in which bodily movement enters into dialogue with the historical energies of colonial documents and activates material elements, RojoNegro usher in a new chapter of their practice, using it as a means for spiritual communication and healing.
María Sosa graduated from the Universidad Michoacán de San Nicolas de Hidalgo. Sosa’s practice stems from her research about our shared colonial past and how it constitutes contemporary social dynamics as an epistemicide of prehispanic worlds, racism, sexism, and the invisibility of multiple non-westerner’s ways of life in the American continent. Sosa’s work is nourished by her research of prehispanic art, anthropology, the methodology of Ecología de Saberes, and the exploration of production techniques of ritual prehispanic and contemporary objects.
Noé Martínez is a visual artist and filmmaker who graduated from Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado (“La Esmeralda”) in Mexico City. His work functions as a case study that emerges from personal history, making use of ethnographic methodologies and research of the various histories of Indigenous communities of the American continent.
