[Im]Possible Parallels
Artists in Dialogue

[IM] Possible Parallels is an international themed portfolio & travelling exhibition project developed in collaboration with Southern Graphics Council International, based on an original concept and curated by Alicia Candiani, Honorary Member of the organization.

This exhibition brings together a set of practices that, from printmaking and its expansions, question the idea of the line as a device of order.

What in the cartographic tradition once served to delimit, classify, and hierarchize the world—parallels, meridians, borders—appears here strained, displaced, or openly disobeyed. The works propose other ways of tracing space: fragmented cartographies, incomplete maps, erratic paths, territories that overlap or dissolve. Rather than fixing boundaries, lines become unstable and porous, capable of connecting distant geographies, dissimilar memories, and conflicting temporalities.

Within this shift, the geographic intertwines with the intimate, the political, and the cosmic. Displaced childhoods, family histories, tensions between nations, natural flows that ignore human borders, and visions that integrate science and spirituality together shape a field where the parallel ceases to signify distance and instead becomes a possibility for encounter. The notion of the map thus expands into sensitive and invisible territories: memory, inheritance, perception, shared experience.

In this convergence, parallels—once impossible—not only draw closer, but touch, contaminate one another, and begin to imagine new ways of inhabiting the world.
