The Museum of the Mola inaugurated the photographic exhibition Portraits of Struggle: 100 Years of the Dule Revolution by renowned Guna photographer Lois Iglesias.
This exhibition, which reaffirms the museum’s commitment to historical memory and the promotion of the Guna people's legacy, is part of the centennial commemorative activities of the Dule Revolution, celebrated in February of this year.
Portraits of Struggle: 100 Years of the Dule Revolution presents a series of contemporary portraits that evoke the strength, pride, and resistance of the Guna people through vivid and intimate representations of its protagonists. Through her lens, Lois Iglesias seeks to capture not only the faces but also the dignity of a struggle that remains alive in collective memory. The exhibition invites the public to visit the museum and become part of a visual experience that honors a century of Guna history, resistance, and culture.
The Museum of the Mola, an initiative of the Alberto Motta Foundation, works actively to highlight the cultural richness of the Guna people through their most representative art form: the mola. The Dule Revolution of 1925 was a crucial moment in the history of the Guna people. This uprising defended their autonomy, culture, and identity in the face of oppressive policies.
Portraits of Struggle: 100 Years of the Dule Revolution will remain open until the end of May at the Museum of the Mola, Calle José D. de la Obaldía, Casco Antiguo (Panama).
