About the show
For his first solo exhibition in Los Angeles, Guadalupe Maravilla transforms Redcat into an environment for healing and storytelling. Born in El Salvador, Maravilla fled the country at the age of eight as an unaccompanied minor to escape the violence of the twelve-year Salvadoran Civil War, reuniting with his family in the United States. As an adult, the artist survived cancer, a disease he believes resulted from the childhood traumas of war, migration, exile, and formerly living in the US undocumented. Throughout this new exhibition, Maravilla retraces his personal journey as a migrant while connecting it with the journeys of others, offering a site for ancestral healing and collective care.
"For Maravilla, the telling of a story is as important as the object that contains it"
—Carribean Fragoza, Aperture Magazine
