April 13, 2026 (Berlin, Germany) – SOCIÉTÉ is pleased to announce Volveré y seré millones, a solo exhibition with Wynnie Mynerva, on view from May 1 – June 27, 2026. Translated as “I will return and I will be millions,” the title references the revolutionary Andean leader Túpac Katari, whose legacy of resistance and collective struggle informs the exhibition’s exploration of relationality, communal memory, and the persistence of ancestral ties.
In their opening presentation with SOCIÉTÉ in November 2025, Mynerva presented an immersive painting installation examining how the European rhetoric of love has historically operated as a structure of lack—defined by absence, longing, and possession. On the occasion of Gallery Weekend, Mynerva will present new paintings, video works, and an installation that extend this inquiry, shifting the focus from romantic love toward broader forms of collective, social, and cosmological relationality. These works continue the artist’s explorations of the affective and political dimensions of love and shared experience, opening the question of intimacy onto communal and transpersonal modes of connection. Drawing upon colonial histories, the experience of migration, and legacies of sexual liberation, the works trace Mynerva’s search for new ways of loving and being loved, signaling a “return home” to Andean thought. Within this framework, love is neither reduced to an intimate feeling nor to a private bond, but sustained through constant exchange. Every being exists only insofar as it is linked to others. “In this sense,” Mynerva asks, “what is love, if not a relational force: the energy that holds together bodies, territories, ancestors, and cycles of time?”
