Where the Flowers Bloom, an exhibition celebrating identity and wandering roots.

By Kevin Harson

Where the Flowers Bloom, an exhibition celebrating identity and wandering roots.

The exhibition Where the Flowers Bloom, by Peruvian-Swiss photographer Ana Margarita Flores, is the result of an investigation into her roots, delving into the layers of both her personal history and her country of origin. The artist engages with the concepts of colonialism, identity, belonging, and womanhood, starting from the very first space we inhabit: clothing. Where the Flowers Bloom portrays women from the Anccoto, Mullacas Misminay, and K’acllaraccay communities wearing carefully chosen traditional garments that function as a colourful, joyful way to reflect on traditions, memory, and their bond with the territory.
