Felipe Romero Beltrán: Dialect
July 27, 2022 – August 27, 2022

Opening Reception: Wednesday, July 27 | 6 – 8 PM

“Baxter St is proud to present Dialect, a solo show of work by 2022 Aperture Portfolio Prize winner, Felipe Romero Beltrán. Dialect is about young immigrant men navigating legal limbo in Spain. As Kaelen Wilson-Goldie writes in Aperture, Dialect delves “into the routines, memories, and experiences of a small group of young immigrants who crossed into Spain from Morocco as minors and are living in a refugee center, awaiting the normalization of their legal status.” Comparing Romero Beltrán’s work to projects by leading artists, including Yto Barrada, Hassan Khan, and Bouchra Khalili, Wilson-Goldie also notes Romero Beltrán’s deep collaboration with his subjects: “Rather than presenting types, tropes, or tragic cases, Romero Beltrán’s images introduce viewers to the humorous quirks and wondrous specificities of Youssef, Hamza, Bilal, and other young men, named and almost knowable characters who, moreover, have a say in how the work is made and shown.” Dialect will be on view in Baxter St’s Gallery from July 27, 2022 – August 27, 2022.”
