About the Exhibition:
“Art Across Dimensions” is a multidisciplinary exhibition celebrating the creative force, cultural memory, and resilience of Latin American women. Featuring four artists from Mexico, Peru, and Guatemala, the exhibition brings together practices rooted in ancestral traditions and reimagined through contemporary form.
Curated by Veronica Olivares Weber, a Mexican artist deeply inspired by folk art, Día de los Muertos, and sacred storytelling, this exhibition honors Latin American women as cultural keepers and artistic innovators. Through textiles, sculpture, jewelry, and fiber arts, the participating artists transform inherited techniques into acts of preservation, resistance, and spiritual continuity.
Each work in “Art Across Dimensions” is a living archive. It is a visual expression of identity, labor, and ancestral knowledge. The artists reclaim materials often associated with craft or domestic labor and elevate them as powerful languages of memory and transformation.
This exhibition stands as a deeply personal offering — a space of memory and resilience where the stories of women take shape through thread, clay, metal, papier-mâché, and ritual. Each work is an act of remembrance and resistance, ensuring these voices are seen, heard, and never forgotten.
