SEBA KURTIS
Seba Kurtis (Argentina, 1974) grew up in Buenos Aires under a dictatorship regime. In 2001, Argentina fell under economical and political crisis, unemployment rocketed, banks restricted access to money and chaos developed in the streets. He left for Europe and remained in Spain as an illegal immigrant for over 5 years. That time became the main inspiration for his work, an exploration of the migratory experience.
He now lives in the UK.
HERE PRESS
Here Press was founded by Harry Hardie, independent curator, and Ben Weaver, graphic designer, and art director of The Wire magazine.
