Start your morning with coffee, tea and pastries before exploring Paloma Contreras Lomas' powerful exhibition Disco Inferno. At 9:30am, join Gasworks' Curator Rosa Tyhurst for a guided tour uncovering how the artist interrogates representations of her home country through a deliberately provocative visual language.
Contreras Lomas moves fluidly between painting, sculpture and mixed media, drawing on sources as diverse as folklore, literature and children's comics alongside her own lived experience. Her work deploys grotesque and subcultural aesthetics to dismantle patriarchal structures and their entanglement with economic power, while addressing how violence—both historical and current—is filtered through popular culture and media narratives.
