Nahui Olin: the infinite gaze of a misunderstood avant-gardist

Nahui Olin. La mirada infinita

June 13, 2018 – September 8, 2018

Long before feminism reclaimed her, Nahui Olin—born María del Carmen Mondragón—was a poet, performer, model and painter in a Mexico that did not know what to do with her. The MUNAL reconstructs her life and work with rare clarity: The Infinite Gaze unpacks a woman who experimented across nearly every genre and was decades ahead of her time. Her wide-eyed self-portraits and curvilinear perspectives remain magnetic. This is a show that settles a debt. With ArtGuide you understand why her name keeps resurfacing.
