The Armory Show

At the Armory Show, Cecilia Brunson Projects is pleased to share a dual presentation by the Wichí textile collective Claudia Alarcón & Silät (founded 2023) and the Bauhaus weaver and printmaker Anni Albers (1899-1994).

Claudia Alarcón and Silät are a collective of weavers from the indigenous Wichí communities of Salta, northwest Argentina. They weave with hand-spun, naturally-dyed fibers from the native chaguar plant, recasting a communal and female-led practice that has been central to Wichí culture for centuries.

For Armory, the artists have produced new works in response to Anni Albers’ textiles and Pictorial Weaving prints, bringing into view the continuing back-and-forth exchange between pre-Columbian and European traditions in abstraction and textile art.
