Through the construction of new cosmologies based on myths, folklore and popular culture, Blanca Gracia’s practice (Madrid, ES, 1989. Lives and works in Barcelona, ES) revolves around social, political and philosophical issues related to our contemporary world. Classical texts, oral traditions, or some of the first legal textbooks are translated and disguised in fairytales which question universal problems. The construction of utopias, voice politics, language as a form of creation, or Nature as a space for transformation, are all recurring themes within her practice. Imagining a fantastical herbarium, Gracia draws inspiration from 17th-century scientific imagery, subverting their formal rigidity, to offer a critical reflection on language and its ability to name, classify and dominate. Through her sculptures, made of brass and copper, Gracia reclaims terms historically used in a pejorative way, especially toward bodies and dissident subjects, and relocates them into a symbolic environment, transforming them into seeds of resistance. Gracia revalues the marginal and the improper, creating a system of organic and resilient support. Her forms, at times delicate and at others grotesque, not only allude to an imaginary natural universe but also to a territory of struggle where the rejected reappears, strengthens, and claims its place. Because no matter how many times they are uprooted, these weeds always grow back, taller and stronger.

Alicja Pakosz’s artistic practice (1996, Tychy, PL. Lives and works in Krakow, PL) revolves around the themes of the politics of memory and national identity, the investigation of which began through the history of her family from Upper Silesia. Pakosz approaches these themes with humour, by constructing multi-layered metaphors. Painting systematically on A4 paper, she creates a personal archive of ideas and themes from which she draws, bringing some of these narrative-driven works on canvas, into a different scale. In Pakosz’s paintings, monuments are very visible: they fly around the city and get caught in the hair like bats. Pakosz uses a cartoony and humorous approach,
presenting the monuments as something that literally happens inside the heads of the inhabitants of the city, with whom they relate. Most of the scenes depicted take place in the city space and are the result of observing life, at a time when the historical narrative is intensively worked on, just as one works to repair a worn-out textile. These works have a crumb-of-life quality, but they are also the result of observing different attitudes to life and its many twists and turns, like a study of positions we take in the face of the inevitable challenges. In particular, in “The Gossiper”, 2026, besides the judgmental expressions of the tulips, the gloomy atmosphere of Pakosz’s recent works still allows a glimpse of light to emerge.

In What’s Yours, What’s Mine, 2026, the background is filled with symbols of bad luck (a ladder, a black cat, a hole in the street), but at the same time, two oversized hands are either making an intimate pinky promise or simply keeping each other
company, as if bracing for impact together.
