Hellen Ascoli: (she re-members) siendo somos

July 21 - September 11,2022

From Artpace: "Hellen Ascoli’s Artpace project, (she re-members) siendo somos, takes inspiration from the artist’s forthcoming book “En los hilos encontré,” a pedagogical resource to support learning and teaching the embedded knowledge of the back-strap loom. Ascoli began working on the book six years ago after working as an educator at a textile museum in Guatemala. Throughout her time there, the artist noticed young visitors exploring the museum and saw an opening to how intergenerational knowledge could be reflected and transmitted. In the En los hilos encontré (Threads I Found), written in Spanish and Kaqchikel, and co-authored with Negma Coy, will be digitally displayed in the exhibition through an interactive setting. The installation will also include Ascoli’s explorations of the back-strap loom through poetry, photography, textiles, and more. The multifaceted installation is an extension of her previous work and encourages viewers to position themselves within what the artist calls ‘Weaving Worlds.’ "
