Honoured to be guest artist representing International World Textile Art with my installation Tempus Fugit.

The WTA Organization was founded in 1997 in the city of Miami, Florida, United States, under the name Women in Textile Art. Pilar Tobón, a curator and Colombian textile artist, posed this great challenge given the need to reclaim textile art at local and global levels. Tobón has always pursued the objectives of supporting, disseminating, promoting, and fostering textile artists and their works.

The Biennials and Art Institutions in the Contemporary Art Ecosystem, curated by Marisa Caichiolo.

DIVERSEartPB 2026 is a living examination of how contemporary art circulates, interfaces, and evolves across a global ecosystem of biennials and art institutions. This year, we present seven international Biennials, including Gwangju Biennial (Korea), Cuenca Biennial (Ecuador), NYLAAT Triennial (New York), SACO Biennial (Chile), and NoMade Biennial along with other significant platforms and leading institutions, all positioned within a shared ecological frame.

TEMPUS FUGIT reflects the fleeting and fragile nature of time through a fiber art installation crafted from textiles and mixed media. Inspired by the Latin phrase “time flies,” the piece explores the interplay between time, human existence, and the natural world. Layers and textures mirror life’s complexity, with each strand symbolizing interconnected moments.

The multi-disciplinary installation invites viewers to pause, reflect on impermanence, and live with awareness amidst global challenges like climate change and social unrest. Drawing from Abstract Expressionism and cultural heritage, TEMPUS FUGIT is a testament to resilience and the enduring connections that bind humanity together.

Collaborators:
VIDEO: @CHAMELENS Esteban Powell
MUSIC/SOUNDSCAPE: Dimitar Pentchev (in memoriam)

Biennials invite urgency, experimentation, and immediacy. They illuminate emergent practices, foster cross-disciplinary collaboration, and host field-wide dialogues beyond the walls of traditional museums.

The 3rd annual Good Mourning Festival is back at Evergreen Brick Works this November 1-2!

In a world where grief is often private and hidden, the Good Mourning Festival invites you to celebrate the profound communal aspects of mourning.

Through workshops, food, art installations, walks and more, we create a space where grief can be expressed, shared and understood.

🕯️ Saturday, November 1: Together in Grief 🕯️

Discover recipes honouring lost loved ones at the farmers market, reflect on your experiences of grief, plant a tulip in our Memorial Garden, learn about life cycles in the Children's Garden and sit by the sacred fire.

💀 Sunday, November 2: Día de los Muertos 💀

Enjoy traditional Latinx music and dance performances, indulge in comfort food, browse the artisan market, watch a short film, decorate a sugar skull and taste tequila and mezcal.
