On the other hand, Antonio Romero investigates normalized institutional violence and its relationship with impunity and trauma. Through an attentive political debate based on the Salvadoran context, his work identifies individuals as anonymous subjects, everyone and no one, under a diffuse power. In his painting, Romero builds parodies on this hidden and ubiquitous power, governing a continent, despite the failed promises of modernity, perennial impoverishment and structural misery.

Thus, MEMORIA proposes an approach to artists and narratives from a region with little exposure in Portugal and Europe, bringing together conceptual interests and visual exercises of diverse contemporary contexts.
