Hulda Guzman : Please awake asked Nature Kindly
Turner Contemporary | Margate Drawing on folk art, Caribbean vernacular traditions, and art history, the exhibition introduces Guzmán’s vibrant vision of landscape as a site of mysticism and ecological consciousness to Margate. The biodiverse environment of the artist’s home in the rainforest mountains of Samaná in the Dominican Republic deeply shapes Guzmán’s visual language. Her richly layered landscapes and interiors echo the lush abundance of her surroundings while engaging with questions of identity, belonging and the urgent realities of climate change. Please awake – asked Nature kindly is Guzmán’s most extensive solo exhibition to date, and traces the evolution of her practice from intimate studio interiors rendered on wooden panels to expansive landscapes. Across these works, Guzmán develops interconnected themes of mysticism and the enduring wonder of the natural world. Photographed in June 2026
