Rolando Chang Barrero, who recently received the Outstanding Cultural Leadership Award from the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County, will present “Threaded / El Hilo Conductor  at The Box Gallery in partnership with Adriana Torres, Director of the Cultural Institute of Mexico and Consul General of Mexico in Miami. This will be the the second Latin American cultural exchange exhibition presented at the independent socially and culturally conscience gallery; Reflejos in late 2017 united many artists of Guatemala with patrons, guests, and dignitaries from the City of West Palm Beach. 

In attendance will be Consul General Jonathan Chait of Mexico and members of his staff.

In effort to provide a safe and heathy environment at The Box Gallery, the list of honored guests is being kept as intimate as possible to provide a safe and heathy environment at The Box Gallery.

"Threaded |  El Hilo Conductor" is an art exhibition presenting six stories intertwined through fiber; six narratives that are connected through color and texture. It features works by Latin-American textile artists based in Miami: Monica Avayou, Sharon Berebichez, Aurora Molina, Evelyn Politzer, Yolanda Sánchez, and Laura Villarreal. Each artist, in her own unique style, uses embroidery, weaving, sewing, and natural dyes to elevate fiber from craft into art. Thread is the medium they use to construct their own identity and re-evaluate women's role in contemporary society.

Curated by Rina Gitlin, independent curator, art historian, and exhibition designer. She holds a Master of Liberal Arts in Museum Studies from Harvard University Extension School.

The exhibition  is enriched by the installation and performance of Danié Gómez-Ortigoza. Danié is a Mexican-American multimedia artist and poet who believes in the power of braiding with intention, and in tracing the invisible thread that braids us together.
