Stellar visit 💫 from Cristian Castro!

Yesterday afternoon, we had the honor of welcoming famous Mexican singer-songwriter Cristian Castro to Americas Society for our exhibition “Telenovela.” Cristian shared the exhibition via video call with his mother, the iconic telenovela superstar and singer Verónica Castro, who is portrayed in many of the artworks in the show and featured on the cover of our research book “Telenovela: A Reader” in a scene from the legendary show “Los ricos también lloran.” ¡Gracias Cristian Castro y Verónica Castro!

Join us in person on Wednesday, October 14 at 6 PM for a panel discussion on “Instituto de la telenovela: Entre la gloria y el olvido” (Institute of the telenovela: Between glory and oblivion), an installation by Pablo Helguera (Pablo Helguera) commissioned by Americas Society for the exhibition “Telenovela.”

Moderated by Tatiana Marcel (Tatiana Marcel), associate curator of Art at Americas Society, the conversation will feature the artist alongside Julieta González ( ), head of exhibitions at the Wexner Center for the Arts, and Ana Janevski (Ana Janevski), curator in the Department of Media and Performance at the Museum of Modern Art.

This program centers on Pablo Helguera’s “Instituto de la telenovela” (2002–present), which serves as the cornerstone for the exhibition’s exploration of telenovelas as a cultural, social, and artistic phenomenon. Through an audiovisual installation comprising multiple screens amid elements of a telenovela set, the 2026 iteration examines the cultural impact of telenovelas from a Pan-American perspective. Each monitor displays a video of a melodramatic scene written and directed by Helguera, filmed with local actors in different Latin American cities—including Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, and Rio de Janeiro—each representing a parallel reality shaped by its unique context.
