House of Latin America

From October 21, 2026, to January 15, 2027, the Maison de l'Amérique latine (House of Latin America) is dedicating a free exhibition to the Dominican artist José Castillo (1955-2018). Organized with the Embassy of the Dominican Republic, it brings together paintings, photographs, and collages, curated by Vivian Braga dos Santos.

Among the materials used by José Castillo are oil painting, engraving, video, collage, and even potatoes. Born in Santo Domingo in 1955, he lived in Paris from 1978 until his death in 2018. The Maison de l'Amérique latine is exhibiting this relatively unknown body of work.

The exhibition evokes his worlds: the Bacá and the Taíno people, Doña Fefa, dollar bills, and the fishermen's yolas. He transformed each medium into a space for transmission, imbued with both tragic and joyful poetry.
