In „Un Pueblo“, the Mexican multidisciplinary artist Guadalupe Aldrete draws inspiration from her temporary home at eindorf.
Using the Spanish translation of the name of the venue, Guadalupe takes the opportunity to reflect on her place in this world: the village she seemed to have grown up in (the village of the stories told by her parents), the village she actually grew up in (the social housing neighbourhood that functioned as her own village) and the mental village she seems to move through in her life in Vienna.
This project, which oscillates between the political and the personal, includes installations and video works as well as a performance on the opening day.

Un Pueblo is part of the official programme of the “Bezirksfestwochen 2023”
Friendly supported by the Stadt Wien through the MA7 and the 15th Bezirk
