“This exhibition is dedicated to the independent spaces and publishers that are key to building culture,” Laguna explained. Beauty and happiness in a troubled countryA central focus of the exhibition is Laguna’s role as a community builder, specifically through the founding of Belleza y Felicidad (Beauty and Happiness) in 1999. In the wake of Argentina’s 2001 economic meltdown, Belleza y Felicidad became a vital hub for affective and political organization. This spirit of collaboration extended to Villa Fiorito — the community where football legend Diego Maradona was born — where Laguna opened a branch of Belleza y Felicidad in 2003. Laguna’s literary output is equally represented, showcasing her work as a poet and novelist, often written under the pseudonym Dalia Rosetti.
