At the heart of the exhibition is an ongoing body of work that reflects Sabela García Cuesta's personal journey: her search for love, as well as experiences of pain, vulnerability, friendship, loss, and self-discovery.

A central component of the exhibition is a series of fifty breast portraits, created during personal encounters with women in the artist's studio at the Fabrik der Künste in Hamburg.

Exhibition: from Thursday, July 23 to Sunday, August 9, 2026 * Full program coming soon
