Juan Sebastián Aguirre Ríos
“El muro no es un lienzo en blanco. Es un territorio con historia.”
The wall is not a blank canvas. It is a territory with history.
Apitatán creates murals rooted in Latin American memory, ancestral heritage and the spiritual relationship between people and nature. His work addresses extractivism and the loss of cultural memory, with murals and exhibitions across Latin America, the United States and Europe.
As ’s visual concept lead, he brings these themes into a world visitors can physically enter.
