The exhibition "Your Ghosts Are Mine: Expanded Cinemas, Amplified Voices," held at Centro Cultural La Moneda in Santiago, Chile, has been extended until November 1, Qatar Museums (QM) and the Years of Culture initiative announced. The show, which opened earlier this year, drew more than 15,000 visitors prior to the extension, initially set to conclude on October 11.

The exhibition highlights themes of migration, exile, and memory through film and video art drawn from Qatar’s collections. It is part of the Years of Culture partnership with Chile and Argentina launched in 2025. Featuring extracts from over 40 films and video installations from the Arab world, Africa, and Southeast Asia, the exhibit explores experiences of displacement, resilience, and community.

Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, Chairperson of Qatar Museums and Founder of the Years of Culture initiative, recently visited Santiago as part of a legacy tour through Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. Her visit renewed attention to the exhibition and underscored the ongoing cultural dialogue promoted by the initiative.

Alejandra Valenzuela, Executive Director of Centro Cultural La Moneda, emphasized the exhibition’s role in cultural diplomacy as a bridge between countries and diverse peoples. She said the extension provides additional opportunities for those who have not yet seen the exhibition to engage with a variety of perspectives and artistic expressions from different regions.

Zeina Arida, Director of Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, noted that a key value of bringing the exhibition to Santiago is witnessing the connections audiences create between stories that might initially appear distant. She added that the extension allows for a broader continuation of conversations initiated through the Years of Culture partnership.

Catherine Grenier, Director of Concept at the Art Mill Museum, described the exhibition as an ambitious effort to challenge conventional categories within the moving image. It crosses geopolitical borders and blurs distinctions between fiction and documentary as well as traditional divides between feature film and video art.

Santiago marks the Latin American debut of "Your Ghosts Are Mine," following prior presentations in Venice and Doha. The exhibition is produced by Qatar Museums in collaboration with Mathaf, the Doha Film Institute, the upcoming Art Mill Museum, and Chile’s Ministry of Cultures, Arts and Heritage. The program reflects Years of Culture’s broader goal of fostering sustained cultural exchange and collaboration beyond a single year, generating new projects and opportunities among Qatar, Chile, and international audiences.
