Confluences: Traces, Memory, and Gesture maps a heterogeneous space where different forms, genres, media, formats, styles, and images merge. In Traces, Memory, and Gesture the ideas behind the three exhibitions open to the public are summarized. It brings together the work Catastrophe by the Palestinian Christian and Israeli Jewish artist Dor Guez, Full a site-specific by artist Mariangela Levita; and the first and most complete exhibition ever devoted to Álvaro Barrios’ most iconic body of work: the Popular Prints, on the occasion of its 50th anniversary.

The exhibition cycle takes its name from the book Ilija Trojanow and Ranjit Hoskote's Confluences. Forgotten Histories from East and West (2012). They argue that culture cannot exist without confluence. The intermingling of different people with diverse languages, customs, and ethnicities produces what one understands as “culture”.
