Exhibition context

The Jamapa Glacier and the Journey of Water

According to INBAL, Tania Ximena’s project emerged from a long-term investigation into the retreat of the Jamapa Glacier on Citlaltépetl. The exhibition followed three stages of the river: its origin in the mountain, its passage through Veracruz and its outlet at Boca del Río, also incorporating sound as a record of a natural landscape in transformation.
