Silent Threads is an exhibition project that explores artists, materials and processes which, have been traditionally reserved for women. This story is connected with the fact that in general, women have had less representation in art, especially in museums and galleries throughout history, a very relevant issue today. Colombia has a long tradition of weaving inherited from pre-colonial times, thus, our aim is to present how female artists from various backgrounds coincide in the use of thread and collage in their works. This exhibit is dedicated to women, to the traditions that are rescued and elevated to works of art. The exhibition is co-curated by Liliana Becerra, a textile, color and material designer based in Los Angeles, and Montenegro Art Projects (MAP) team, Sandra Montenegro, director and Ana Lucia Arbelaez, art historian.
