Power in Every Thread: Maria A. Guzmán Capron and Minga Opazo presents two artists, Maria A. Guzmán Capron and Minga Opazo, whose use of textiles unite them in an exhibition featuring a range of impressive two- and three-dimensional works. Minga’s work draws attention to environmental degradation caused by textile waste, while Maria’s aims to highlight awareness of multicultural identities to empower those who step out of so-called societal norms. Both artists recycle fabrics, transforming them into unique forms of expression—their destination rerouted from the landfill to museums, galleries, or collector’s homes. Curated by Alma Ruiz
