Árbol de Aceite: Exhibition Catalog

Árbol de Aceite is a multimedia exhibition by Ronald Pizzoferrato, co-curated by Letra Muerta and Jay Seven from October to November 2025. 

"The immersive installation renders Pizzoferrato’s perspective on the Venezuelan oil city of Cabimas—the longstanding impact of its history with oil extraction—through the eyes of the locals, grounded in the artist’s image-based field research. In this historic moment, given the current political context of oil relations between the United States and Venezuela, the topics explored in this timely exhibition pose questions on the very dynamics that will shape international relations for years to come".— Jenna Hamed
