Arleene Correa Valencia: CÓDICE •• SOBREVIVIENDO A LA PERSECUCIÓN / CODEX •• SURVIVING THE PERSECUTION
About This Event
Arleene Correa Valencia’s exhibition "CÓDICE •• SOBREVIVIENDO A LA PERSECUCIÓN" at Fridman Gallery examines the personal impacts of migration, emphasizing themes of family separation and identity. Through her use of embroidery, textiles, and garments, Valencia transforms domestic materials into narratives that reflect what is carried and lost amidst larger political forces. The work invites contemplation on the often-invisible struggles faced by those in transitional states.
About CÓDICE •• SOBREVIVIENDO A LA PERSECUCIÓN / CODEX •• SURVIVING THE PERSECUTION
At Fridman Gallery, **CÓDICE •• SOBREVIVIENDO A LA PERSECUCIÓN / CODEX •• SURVIVING THE PERSECUTION** unfolds as a live exhibition event, with featured performer **Arleene Correa Valencia**. The work frames persecution as something recorded and carried, using the idea of a “codex” to suggest testimony, archive, and survival across time. In New York, where migration histories and state power are daily subjects, it lands as a local conversation rather than an abstract theme. Its most pointed move is treating the gallery as a site of witness, not refuge.
