This May and June, Distortion Society presents Larrupin, a solo exhibition by installation artist Josué Morales Urbina. Born in Guatemala and now based in New York, his practice centers on the experience of not fully belonging to either place—what he calls transcultural displacement or dépaysement, a longing for home within a foreign environment.
In Larrupin, Morales Urbina works with materials ranging from the utilitarian to the organic to explore ideas of home, ephemerality, and connection through language, taste, and sensory experience. Curated by Gallery Director Michelle Silver, the exhibition opens Saturday, May 9, 2026 and runs until July 2nd.
