Throughout the exhibition, details drawn from Puerto Rican homes, landscapes, and vernacular architecture frame a comprehensive study of symbol and place. Alongside previous projects centered on textiles as vessels of communication, Límites que Respiran helps us understand how identity is shaped, as well as preserved, translated, and carried forward through textile practices. In her attention to the everyday built environment, Padilla Bonelli insists that small, often overlooked features are central to how a place and belonging are recognized. She also positions archival practice as an active encounter: not simply something to be received, but something made physical, surrounding, and present. Together, the works invite reflection on how the smallest features of a place come to define home, and how they can be met with sustained attention and care. July 9–26, 2026 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6ab19cf9a7c2a02f6174e6a5/a67a0329-fe63-4d5b-9e38-4bc5ce42099e/1080_insta-4002.jpg Projects Textile Stories: After-Visions focuses on textiles as a metaphor for the transmission of knowledge, memory, and history. Textile traditions have been passed down through generations, often made collectively, some of which have been documented in the Textile Stories Archive. The preservation and continuation of textile-making demonstrates the resilience of material cultural practices, despite modernization. In this exhibition, the idea of knowledge sharing and community becomes the thread, suggesting continuity: the ways textile traditions move after the loom, beyond craft and fiber, into performance, collective action, and acts of gathering. The site-specific installations in Textile Stories: After-Visions were made on November 20 and 21, 2025, with instructions provided by artists Isabel Padilla Bonelli and Liene Bosquê. Local makers merged their gestures with the artists’, creating a shared authorship and a work that is as much about process as about object. The local interpretation, materials, and context shaped the result. Organized by Louisa Potthast and Sofía Magdits Espinoza November 20 – November 30, 2025 Supported by: Kulturamt Düsseldorf https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6ab19cf9a7c2a02f6174e6a5/e5e5ab9a-31c3-4579-a2e0-cce152d18f44/52-images-1.jpeg Projects 52 Images: a selection of snapshots by Joshua Willis gathers 52 photographs collected by Joshua Willis over years of visits to flea markets, antique shops, and online archives — snapshots that once belonged to private lives, now offered to public view. The 52 photographs gathered here were once fragments of private life: album pages, portraits on walls, records of memory. Their value was linked to moments shared with loved ones, and most meaningful to those who knew the subjects. Collected over the past years, this selection marks a shift from private to public, from personal to anonymous, and back to personal again. As a collection, it demonstrates both shifts in photographic convention across decades and serves as a record of the compositional instincts of various unknown makers. Seen outside the context of their personal histories, these photographs constitute an alternative, vernacular history of photography and challenge the argument that vernacular photography can only be judged in relation to utilitarian purpose. October 11 – October 26, 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6ab19cf9a7c2a02f6174e6a5/e197c937-a6a1-4585-9d46-0ef376310934/textile-stories-3.jpeg Projects Textile Stories: A Living Archive is a platform where contemporary textile art, historical events, ancient techniques, and community traditions coexist. With a focus on Latin America, it explores how diverse voices can be gathered, connected, and represented in new ways to make knowledge more accessible and far-reaching. Textile practices, shaped by historical and political contexts, have often been excluded from the traditional art historical canon and archives. Archiving, by its nature, tends to be exclusionary. Textile Stories approaches archiving as a participatory practice, working to close gaps in historical records while offering a space for self-representation. Participants: Alejandra Mizrahi, Beatriz Morales, Cecilia Vicuña, María José Durán Steinman, María José Murillo, Milena Volonteri, Natalia Villanueva Linares, Tamara Marcos, Textiles Semillas, Andrei Fernández, and Victoria Martinez.
