The Terrestrial dance with the sublime 

2026


The exhibition Matassa, which reveals "textiles as forms of reinvention of the present" took place in the Center for Archaeology and Arts in Beja, Portugal, featuring 51 works by 34 artists.

The exhibition is part of the Hypertextile project, which presents textiles as a language and device for thought, exploring artistic processes developed during residencies in Portugal (2024–2025).
"Structured from the metaphor and concreteness of the matassa — a bundle of intertwined threads — the exhibition proposes a non-linear logic, marked by overlaps, accumulations, and interdependencies among 34 artists. Between the artisanal and the technological, tradition and innovation, they dialogue, highlighting processes, gestures, and decisions that shape each work."
My work titled is an installation of textile embroideries created in 2025 after an art residency in Cortex Frontal Arraiolos.


The Matassa exhibition is the result of the DGArtes Project Support Program, submitted by Cortex Frontal. The Curator is Antónia Gaeta.
