la trenza – the braid is a project with a feminist perspective, which aims to show that curatorship is a process in which the relationship between artists and curators develops in a personal and political sphere. That is, curatorship as a practice that involves the body and a series of negotiations that constitute a layout or a network that articulates the artists’ production in a discourse that goes beyond the individual and thus allows the articulation of the different devices that are activated during an exhibition: Work, museography, curatorship, space, and socio-historical context.

Taller Boricua emerged in East Harlem within the cultural landscape of New York City in 1969, alongside the artistic effervescence that took place Downtown, particularly in SoHo, Tribeca, and the Lower East Side. Their objective was to activate, through art, processes of social resistance in frequently neglected, underserved communities. From the beginning, they have been part of the Nuyorican movement that originated in the late 1960s in neighborhoods like Loisaida, Williamsburg, and East Harlem aka El Barrio; visual artists, writers, especially poets, and musicians, converged in El Taller (The Workshop), where prints, Spoken Word and Salsa developed within the environment of Latin American culture, today deeply rooted in New York.

Piel es (It is skin) by Andrea Rey is part of the cycle of artistic residences of the project Mending & weaving affections for inclusive cities; the Textile Seminar – El Costurero of the ICESI University, in association with the La Tertulia Museum and with the support of MinCiencias.

Within the framework of Black History Month, WhiteBox Presents “Re-shaping the Sugar”, an exhibition that investigates the Afro-Latin roots present in the memory of ‘Black America’. The show includes the work of seven relevant Caribbean artists based in New York City, Juana Valdes, Coco Fusco, Alicia Grullon, Renluka Maharaj, Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow, Joiri Minaya and Jacqueline Herranz-Brooks. Their exhibited works challenge the historical, geographical, and political delimitations of what we call “Caribbean”.

This second part of Off the Cloth, like its predecessor that inaugurated WhiteBox’s new space in March 2022, presents an intergenerational dialogue between women artists whose work refers to their transcultural influences through the use of textiles as material and metaphor. It further develops some of the topics that emerged from the first show, among them: textiles as a performative medium; textile works as a vehicle for social memory; textiles and ecofeminism; and textiles and intermediality.

The Textile Seminar – El Costurero of the ICESI University is an academic space whose objective is to study the relationship between textiles, daily life, pedagogy and feminism.

The Natures of a Happy World Exhibition is located in that substratum that has been transgressed and to which all individuals, including artists, are devoted daily in almost all human spheres.

This exhibition has the interest of approaching the La Tertulia Museum as a territory that is the sum of meanings and questions for a community in a given context: the city of Cali.

No Copyright exhibition advocates an unconventional stance of the concept of "copy": it aims to sharpen the perception of everyday life, captured by the artist's eye, resignifying the value of an image and its copy in the digital times of "Copy & Paste",

This curatorship was carried out as part of the CALCO - 2011 event, a project of ephemeral interventions was carried out in the public space in the city of Cali - Colombia.
