Deshilar, la revolución cotidiana, curated by Yohanna M. Roa and presented at the Museo La Tertulia, brings together more than thirty national and international artists in a project that rethinks textile practice as a space of resistance, knowledge production, and collective memory.
The exhibition unfolds through two interconnected lines: a body of textile works emerging from workshops, residencies, and artistic processes, and an archival dimension that documents the methodologies, tensions, and conceptual frameworks developed within the Seminario Textil – El Costurero.
From this perspective, “deshilar” (to unravel) operates as both gesture and method—an act of undoing dominant structures through thread, stitch, and material engagement. The project positions textile practices as subversive tools capable of challenging systems that have historically shaped bodies, identities, and forms of knowledge.
Developed within a community-based framework, the exhibition emphasizes collective making, dialogue, and the act of weaving as forms of active resistance, situating textile as a living and relational archive.
