Where in Guatemala City are you located?The gallery is located in its third place in Guatemala City, after moving to a house inside a still functioning wood mill (Guatemala’s biggest wood mill from the 1960s and ‘70s, in fact) at the heart of a bustling working-class neighbourhood in Zone 1. Why did you choose your gallery's name?From the beginning, because of the diversity of the activities we knew we wanted to produce, we knew that we wanted it to be Proyectos something. We had a long list of words to follow, but started thinking of ultraviolet rays. Without them we would be able to see anything at all, and yet too much exposure to them would make you blind. So they’re fundamental to seeing.
