Coinciding with simultaneous events occurring in London remembering the fifth anniversary of the students’ anti-fees protests, Dissenting Room is a space for expression, discussion and opinion.

Over the last years, Europe has seen turmoil in society with protests and demonstrations against social, political and economical affairs. Masses of refugees come from the Middle East escaping war just to be stopped by a barbed wire, while seven years of cuts and austerity has encouraged the creation of social movements and waves of people trying to change their countries’ political climates and protect social rights.

Ernesto’s works addresses these socio-political issues along with religious topics as well as larger legacies of memory and identity such as diaspora, globalisation and other forms of cultural integration.

Drawing upon traditional craft techniques, Ernesto’s practice is an expanded practice based on the principle of site-specific installation and sculpture, combining ceramics and mixed media.

Working with the idea of traditional tiling, some of his work has strong references to pop art, activist culture and iconography whereas other pieces portray a much more abstract and transcendental message, becoming a cross section of statements.
