Writer
In My Mother Resents Me, Victoria Linares Villegas wonders if her mother has always been a sad person, and works towards an understanding of her own relationship to her that draws on old photographs and new discoveries – an exploration that takes the artist back to the Dominican Republic’s former dictatorship, and the idea that anxiety, solitude and sorrow can persist through generations.

More than a genre, salsa was a cultural movement that arose in a time of need for strengthening the Latino culture and spread across the world with such force that, 50 years later, is still moving the feet of dancers in the most inhospitable corners world. At the heart of the movement is the figure of Johnny Pacheco, know as one of the great musical legacies responsible for salsa music.
