Aó: Episodios textiles
de las artes visuales en el Paraguay
Aó: Textile Episodes in the Visual Arts in Paraguay brings together sixteen works by ten artists closely connected to Paraguay and its textile practices: Marcos Benítez, Félix Cardozo, Claudia Casarino, Feliciano Centurión, Arnaldo Cristaldo, Ricardo Migliorisi, Mónica Millán, Osvaldo Salerno, Joaquín Sánchez, and Karina Yaluk. Some of these objects and installations produced from 1993 to 2022 make use of traditional fabrics (ñandutí or Paraguayan lace, aó po’í, poyví, and encaje yú, all of them rooted in the precolonial or colonial era) to explore local questions in the present time. Others engage in novel forms of needlework, printing, or assemblage to stitch together stories about women, work, and the environment, about the language that inhabits us and its translations. Aó re-signifies a poetics of the textile that binds together the shared stories of daily life.
