The exhibition Cooking Potato Stories by photographer Ana Núñez Rodríguez presents a visual and research project that explores the relationship between identity, collective memory and colonial heritage through a seemingly ordinary motif - the potato. Moving between Europe and Latin America, the artist connects personal experience to broader historical and cultural contexts, raising questions about how our ideas of ourselves and the world around us are shaped.

Here, the potato functions as a mediator of stories - a 'transatlantic recipe' that blends history, tradition, imagination and autobiography. At the same time, the project critically reflects on power structures, anthropocentric thinking and the relationships between human and non-human actors. The exhibition thus offers a space for sharing and rethinking the narratives that shape our identities - both individual and collective.

Ana Núñez Rodríguez is a visual artist and photographer whose research-oriented practice is articulated in the transcultural field between Spain and Colombia. Her work focuses on issues of identity politics, which she views through the prism of her own experience of movement between different cultural contexts and through dialogue with other actors. He understands photography as a tool for the critical production of knowledge that allows to rearticulate marginalized colonial legacies and reflect on the role of collective memory and cultural heritage in the formation of identity.
