Claudia Alarcon @ Cecilia Brunson Projects

 An exhibition of textile art by Claudia Alarcón and Silät, who are part of a collective of artists from the Wichí communities of Santa Victoria Este, Salta, Argentina.  This exhibition constitutes a radical recasting of Wichí textile traditions, inherited methods of production translated only in recent years into large-scale artworks, which have provided a means for women across generations to transmit contemporary Wichí culture into the webs of international art dialogues. These artworks signify at once a collective response to changing dynamics between Indigenous communities and a wider world, and individual impulses to express creatively and imaginatively.
