"Pinacoteca Migrante Migrant Art Gallery" is an institution created by the Peruvian-Spanish
artist Sandra Gamarra Heshiki and hosted by the Spanish Pavilion at the 60th Biennale di
Venezia 2024. The project analyses the arts' systemic structures through pictorial
appropriations based on the artist's research on heritage paintings and objects in public
collections and museums from the Empire to the Enlightenment in Spain. Gamarra's revision
shows the absence of decolonial narratives exposing the bias with which colonizers and the
oppressed have been represented in museums. Text: Esther Gabara Sandra Gamarra Heshiki
