The Law of Origin
Overview
Intro
An exhibition that shows narratives of migration, cosmology and political memory in the textile practices of the artists.
The exhibition The Law of Origin features works by Eveline Cantieni, Camila Rodriguez Triana and Lorena Gutiérrez Camejo and explores how knowledge, memory and belonging can be visibly shaped into an artistic narrative through different material and immaterial practices.
In the works of Cantieni, Rodriguez Triana and Gutiérrez Camejo, weaving and sewing traditions, fiber production and handicraft processes intertwine with narratives of migration, cosmology and political memory. Fabrics, fibers and textile techniques emerge here not only as carriers of form, but also as archives.
The fabric functions as both metaphor and practice and makes visible how matter stores memory, passes on knowledge and shapes social relationships. Textile actions thus become moments in which techniques, bodies and territories intertwine and enable new interpretations of origin, belonging and responsibility.
The focus is on an understanding of the world that does not think in terms of separations, but in terms of relationships: between body and territory, past and present, individual experience and collective history.
