Rele Gallery is an arts space that is determined to build the audiences and opportunities for emerging and less established artists from Africa and its diaspora.

This exhibition of wearable art was produced in association with fashion designer Pratima Pandey and with the assistance of Tanmay Gupta. Read the exhibition concept and view the installation and performance images.

The solo exhibition ‘La tierra habla’ followed Mendieta’s journey to three different sites in Cuba: Jaruco, Varadero, and Guanabo. Following the completion of her now well-known ‘Silueta Series’ (1973–80), the artist’s works in Cuba demonstrate an evolving, more sculpturally-inclined practice as well as her increasing comfort with working on a grander scale.
