Exposición Día Muñoz

RETORNO is a series of site-specific interventions that transforms the central space of the Neolith Living Gallery into a territory for reflection and projection in contemporary art, where material, gesture, and sustainable awareness intertwine. Curated by Óscar Manrique, the series enters into dialogue with Neolith’s philosophy: material as an archive of time, technology, and responsibility. Its core idea is “returning”—to stone and to ancient forms of knowledge—in order to look at the world through an ethic of care, tracing a circle between the human and the non-human, community and nature, body and earth, responsible beauty.

Within RETORNO is the exhibition by Día Muñoz, the first exhibition in the series, titled Ilium.
Ilium names the bone that sustains life. Muñoz carves a wooden pelvis, porous like a promise, a refuge for what is minimal: bacteria, fluids, a possible gestation. At its center, a wounded uterus—burnt and warped glass, fragile yet resilient—where loss breathes alongside desire and regeneration persists. Glass, like a microbiome, whispers that no one lives alone: we are alliance. Between abortions and births, cysts and renunciations, each cycle leaves its marks. The work denounces violence against bodies and opens other narratives for loving and beginning again.
