HISTORIAS
Doors of Hope is an initiative that seeks to make visible the resilience, courage, and effort of members of the LGBTIQ+ community who had to flee their homes due to physical or psychological violence, leaving one door behind to open new ones in search of authenticity.
Through a collaborative effort between the LLYC Foundation, the Casa Frida refuge, and the renowned Hilario Galguera Gallery, the project brings together LGBTIQ+ community members with various national and international artists to reinterpret their stories using the doors of the houses that closed on them as a canvas.
The intervened doors will be exhibited from November 15, 2023 to January 13, 2024 at the Hilario Galguera Gallery and will be for sale with the aim of raising funds for Casa Frida.

The Hilario Galguera Gallery opened in Mexico City in 2006 as a space for discussion and promotion of contemporary Mexican and international art. Since then, it has exhibited and disseminated the work of artists characterized by relevant and complex proposals at a conceptual, social, political, and formal level, as well as by their rigor and aesthetic precision.
The machine room was conceived by Hilario Galguera in 2010 in Berlin, as a platform of unlimited possibilities, oriented to the inclusion of independent and experimental projects, for which the site or duration is determined based on the specific needs of each one.
