Southsea Cinema & Arts Centre is proud to present “Voices of Origin”, a solo exhibition by Salvadoran artist Raquel Bolaños, whose vivid, geometric compositions reflect her personal journey from El Salvador to the United Kingdom.
In this striking collection, Raquel transforms memories, landscapes, and traditions from her homeland into bold, abstract visual stories. Each piece celebrates the resilience and beauty of cultural identity - a vibrant dialogue between the past and the present, the familiar and the new.
Raquel Bolaños is an architect and visual artist from El Salvador, now based in the United Kingdom. Her work combines modernist structure with Latin American warmth, using color and form to explore memory, migration, and identity. “Voices of Origin” is her first solo exhibition in Portsmouth. Her series “Voices of Origin” invites visitors to “listen” to the stories that live within warm tones and rhythmic forms – stories of resilience, joy, and the enduring connection to home.
The exhibition runs from 14 October to 14 November 2025 at Southsea Cinema & Arts Centre, 1–3 Palmerston Road, Southsea, Portsmouth PO5 3QQ. For more information, visit southseacinema.co.uk
