Literature
La exposición Conmemorar y Celebrar rinde homenaje a Cecilia Campos, destacada artista visual y mujer trans, cuya obra ha sido clave para visibilizar las luchas de mujeres y disidencias sexo-genéricas. Con más de 35 años de trayectoria, su pintura entrelaza cuerpo, memoria y experiencia con una ética de vida clara y comprometida.
Desde los márgenes y con materiales sencillos, Cecilia ha registrado las fisuras del mundo, haciendo de su obra un refugio donde conviven el amor, la pérdida, la resistencia y la denuncia. Su gesto pictórico, entre lo onírico y lo real, nos enfrenta con la urgencia de visibilizar la desigualdad y la transfobia.
Este homenaje reconoce una trayectoria profunda, muchas veces ignorada por los espacios oficiales, y que ha abierto caminos para nuevas voces. conmemorar y celebrar a Cecilia es también resistir y afirmar que estas obras, sin duda, debían ser compartidas.

The exhibition Conmemorar y Celebrar pays tribute to Cecilia Campos, a distinguished visual artist and trans woman whose work has been key in making visible the struggles of women and sex-gender dissidences. With over 35 years of artistic practice, her painting weaves together body, memory, and lived experience with a clear and committed ethic of life.
From the margins and with humble materials, Cecilia has documented the fractures of the world, making her work a refuge where love, loss, resistance, and protest coexist. Her pictorial gesture—between the dreamlike and the real—confronts us with the urgency of exposing inequality and transphobia.
This tribute honors a profound trajectory, often overlooked by official spaces, that has paved the way for new voices to emerge. To commemorate and celebrate Cecilia is also to resist, and to affirm that these works, without a doubt, needed to be shared.
