The SUBTE Exhibition Center of the Municipality of Montevideo announces "50 years.” An exhibition that, from a regional and critical perspective, presents a set of works and experiences that are related to the past, present and future of democracy. "50 years" adds other voices to the remembrance of this recent history of Uruguay, and contribute, from the arts, to reflect on the future. Forward-looking, inclusive and diverse, the exhibition encompasses a multiplicity of points of view and stories that promote the exchange of ideas. The exhibition brings together works of art from the 1970s and 1980s with commissioned contemporary works. Works that poetically speak of democracy and its weaknesses in times of dictatorship, as well as the world of today.
