 Exhibiton Inforrmation

and so the broken mend themselves

This exhibition brings together the work of six Latin American women artists whose practices span painting, sculpture, textile, graphic art and performance, engaging with notions of mending, both as a technical act and a poetic symbol. Through an exploration of materiality and techniques passed down through generations, and so the broken mend themselves, invites a reflection on how these elements become conduits for narratives of resilience, transformation, and the continuous negotiation of identity. The exhibition also examines varied approaches to the artistic gesture, revealing its power as a means to navigate and articulate these themes.
