Inter-woven

The starting point for this exhibition is the production of Mumora, the Randa Mobile Museum, a unique museological project established outside the canonical formats of the history of culture, presenting a genealogy of the museum as a portable, ephemeral and itinerant device. Rooted in community production, this project revisits the past from the practices of the present and reflects on the idea of the museum as a mobile, open and changing device. With a view to expanding textile work to other audiences and geographies, the lacemakers (randeras) from El Cercado in Tucumán relate to other textile practices of weaving, spinning and knitting from various perspectives. Through the use of industrial and artisanal materials, mechanical and manual procedures, objectual and processual resolutions, this group of works enhances the modalities of knowledge transfer between the past and the present and between various languages and territories, thus weaving knots and bonds across distant worlds and times.
