Past-presents for an affective context is the exhibition that  we would curate from Conjuntos Empático for La Casa Encendida.

​

Through different interfaces, we expose our reflection on domesticity in times of pandemic, which interprets architecture as a social situation or as a mediator between cultural reality and the community. The eleven exhibited pieces have the potential to generate affective contexts or architectures that are intentionally adapted to our emotional needs. In this sense, an exhibition circumstance is proposed that is capable of grouping them, highlighting the interactions of their physical materialization, which leads us to talk about notions such as self-conception, recycling, techno-architecture, free occupation or the questioning of everything that was and is being.

We also claim the need to eliminate the existing dissociation between theoretical approaches and the reality in which society lives, denying that this exhibition atmosphere is a utopia on the way to dystopia, but rather we understand that it should become accepted in the pandemic context. for which it was created. Thus, we state that, although the artifacts that make up this atmosphere were generated in the past, they should, especially now, be more present than ever.
