In this endless celebration, the affectionate apes of themselves and their loved ones laugh, hug, and caress each other. An unusual setting where behavior is defined solely by the directive of pleasures. These joyful primates teach us a very important lesson: how sexuality is an essential part of our nature.

There is a cultural dimension to desire, which is socially constructed, but also comes from the most intimate parts of ourselves. Those singularities that we have always been told were a secret, a taboo. Are not those curiosities as inherent to the subject as the senses? Is not sexuality also a way in which we understand and inhabit the world? How does moral rigor condition us in a repressive politics?

PACHANGAS is to associate the word pleasure with evolution, to associate the word freedom against repression. It is to associate a reality with a collective life experience, through these fun compositions of interactions between monkeys, where the adventure and experimentation of sexual freedom is reflected.

A risky proposal from the workshop Jacobo and María Ángeles, as it brings to the table the breadth of possible connotations within the knowledge and reflections around sexuality, in a context that has not always been flexible in addressing these topics. PACHANGAS is a different statement, a counter-response to social stigma, approached from the pleasurable, but distinguished from the finishes of these figures carved from copal wood.

This collection invites the viewer to an intimate encounter with themselves, recognizing themselves in a circumstance where joy abounds. A permanent gala in which is exhibited, without any sorrow, that entity that has been so desired to be taken from us: pleasure.
