On Wednesday, April 16, Espacio de Culturas at NYU will host a conversation on textile politics with Teresa Lanceta and curator, editor, and researcher Laura Vallés Vílchez. The event will be introduced in English by Lynne Cooke, Senior Curator, Department of Modern and Contemporary Art at the National Gallery of Art, and the conversation will be in Spanish.
The dialogue will explore the intersection of migration, flamenco cultures, and diasporic encounters in Barcelona’s El Raval neighborhood, alongside Lanceta’s work in the Middle Atlas region, where she has developed her practice for over three decades. Through an analysis of Lanceta's textile works—concurrently on view at the Museum of Modern Art and Sikkema Malloy Jenkins—the conversation will delve into her artistic approach and her understanding of weaving as both a language and a tool for cultural transmission.
Drawing from their decade-long editorial and curatorial collaboration at MACBA, IVAM, EACC, and Concreta, Lanceta and Vallés Vílchez will discuss storytelling through textiles, cultural memory, and the evolution of collaborative and creative processes in Lanceta’s practice.
This event also marks the publication of El Paso del Ebro (Editorial Concreta, 2025), a collaborative project that expands on these reflections from the perspective of Lanceta’s experiences and personal journey.
The event is free and open to the public, with advanced registration. To RSVP, click here.
