Intro | La Chola Poblete: Guaymallén (EN Subtitles)

Britta Färber, Global Head of Art & Culture Deutsche Bank, provides insights into the exhibition she curated, "La Chola Poblete: Guaymallén" at PalaisPopulaire.
Guaymallén is a municipality in the province of Mendoza in Argentina. It was here that La Chola Poblete, Deutsche Bank’s “Artist of the Year” 2023, was born as Mauricio Poblete in 1989. She grew up here, in her own words, “surrounded by landscapes of olive trees and vineyards, with breathtaking autumn days and the ever-present, Andes mountain range.” The exhibition titled Guaymallén is a tribute to her roots, to the time when she was growing up as a non-binary, indigenous teenager, a time when La Chola began to draw, explore art and pop culture, and experiment with her queer identity.
