Alexis Mendoza (Guest Curator, July – August 2023)

Since the day I walked through the doors of RU a few years ago I have not stop learning and I became a better artist, a better curator. As a guest curator I had the opportunity to examine the works and careers of most incredible artist. I was presented with the challenge of curating an exhibition with four artists I’d never meet before and didn’t know anything about them. “An instinct to change things” was one of the most rewarding and learning experience I had ever been exposed to in my career as a curator. Aurelija Bulaukaite, Paola Fernanda Guzmán Figueroa, Sead Kazanxhiu and Amira Ziyan were simply magnificent. The RU team with their unbelievable energy and positive thinking turned the project into a real success. Lulu, Senthil, Tania, Mariko I thank you!!
