WhiteBox Portable is pleased to present the braid – la trenza: Sorrow and Joy, opening at Gallery MC on June 11, 2026.
Developed at a moment marked by political uncertainty, ecological crisis, forced migration, attacks on bodily autonomy, and the erosion of social support systems, the braid – la trenza proposes an alternative model of artistic production rooted in solidarity, interdependence, collective authorship, and care. A project initiated by Yohanna M. Roa and collectively curated by the participating artists, the exhibition brings together nine artists and features works by Susan Salinger, Yohanna M. Roa, Mary Mattingly, Monika Weiss, Cecile Chong, Lilia Ziamou, Sandra Eula Lee, Esperanza Cortés, and Tatiana Istomina.
