The José Guerrero Centre explores Andalusian oral tradition in the new exhibition by Daniel Domínguez Romero
The José Guerrero Center will host, starting Friday, March 27, "¿Uhtede de qué?? un diálogo muy profundo" (What about what?? A very profound dialogue ), an exhibition by artist Daniel Domínguez Romero that reflects on Andalusian orality and the relationship between sound, text, image, and object, all from an undisciplined perspective. The exhibition, produced as part of the FACBA 2026 Festival, draws on a visual and sound archive that moves from memory to the creation of potential recollections based on what has already been said by others.
The title of the exhibition comes from an old YouTube video in which three people discuss an event in Andalusian in a theatrical way, and serves as a starting point for a project that reviews the archive of Andalusian speech and its transcriptions from two research projects: the Interactive Linguistic Atlas of the Accents of Andalusia and ECOS - GR, belonging to the Department of Spanish Language of the University of Granada.
Daniel works from the concept of the bricoleur, manipulating, translating, and transforming audio recordings in search of a possible materialization of language. The result is an installation that functions simultaneously as a piece and as an environment, inviting the viewer to interact with the materials and experience language beyond its normative dimension.
Far from a fixed or prescriptive vision, the project reclaims Andalusian speech as a living, mutable, and political field, where orality becomes archive, fiction, and a tool for creation. The exhibition thus fits within the context of FACBA, as a space for artistic research that transcends academia to activate new forms of listening, memory, and collective identity.
