A Parrot, Three Bars, & Gold Teeth

This exhibition invites you to explore a neighborhood’s past through the eyes of artists Israel Pérez and María Requena. Their work pieces together drawings, old photos, and patterns collected over years of wandering the area around the museum. The place once buzzed with street performers, bars, and secret meetings, but much has changed with urban renewal. Instead of offering clear answers, the show highlights what’s been lost, making absence itself a part of the story. You’ll find the exhibition thoughtful and quietly evocative, encouraging reflection on how memory shifts over time. It’s less about nostalgia and more about noticing the traces left behind in everyday objects and images. Whether you’re drawn to art, history, or the subtle ways places evolve, this collection offers a layered experience. It’s a chance to connect with a vanished world without needing to fill in every blank.
