The article highlights significant artworks displayed at a contemporary art event, focusing on textile installations and sculptures by Indigenous and Latin American artists. Each artist brings a unique cultural perspective with stories woven into their pieces. Claudia Alarcón stands out with her crocheted works priced at $30,000-$50,000, notably collaborating with an Indigenous women's collective. Similarly, Sonia Gomes uses personal fabrics in her sculptures, while Carolina Caycedo honors Zilia Sánchez through handmade nets symbolizing female communal ties. Citra Sasmita’s work also reflects cultural heritage and protest against industrialization, exemplifying how personal and heritage narratives shape contemporary art.
Citra Sasmita's Vortex in the Land of Liberation incorporates hand-embellished cowhide, each bead handsewn as an art of protest against increasing industrialisation of traditions.
Sonia Gomes's Torção series features large-scale wrapped-wire sculptures, wrapped with fabrics gifted by friends and family, showcasing personal connections in craftsmanship.
