The work on textiles, photography, printmaking, papermaking, music, and video visually explores intersections of cultures and media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the eleven artists in the exhibition, we come from diverse backgrounds. We are from both sides of the Mexico\/US border and speak five languages. Our group is a blend of cultures and approaches. These differences have allowed us to examine what we share and honor, what makes us unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The intersection of our techniques, artistic styles, visions, and stories produced three key themes. Our work honors and remembers loved ones who have passed and the fleeting nature of life. We understand the potential of migration to both destroy and cultivate traditions. And finally, we recognize the importance of our shared histories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our collective work asks questions about what it means to cross and connect worlds: life and death, art and craft, and the borders between countries, languages, cultures, and classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Participating Artists<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;VIRGINIA \u00c1LVAREZ JU\u00c1REZ<br>San Bartolom\u00e9 Ayutla, Oaxaca, Mexico<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MIRIAM CAMPOS CORNELIO<br>San Antonino Castillo Velasco, Oaxaca, Mexico<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ANA PAULA FUENTES QUINTANA&nbsp;<br>Oaxaca de Juarez, Oaxaca, Mexico<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RODRIGO HERN\u00c1NDEZ QUERO<br>San Pablo de Mitla, Oaxaca, Mexico<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">JOHN HITCHCOCK<br>Madison, Wisconsin, USA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CAROLYN KALLENBORN<br>Madison, Wisconsin, USA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DAKOTA MACE<br>Madison, Wisconsin, USA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MOISES MARTINEZ VELASCO<br>San Pedro Cajonos, Oaxaca, Mexico<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ERASTO \u201cTITO\u201d MENDOZA RUIZ<br>Teotitl\u00e1n del Valle, Oaxaca, Mexico<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ALVARO TORRES CISNEROS&nbsp;<br>Oaxaca de Juarez, Oaxaca, Mexico<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ROBERTO TORRES MATA<br>Madison, Wisconsin, USA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thank you\/Agradecimientos:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Project Assistant<\/strong><br>Betsy Parker<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Translators<\/strong><br>Cassidy Reis<br>Denise Castillo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Event Organization<br><\/strong>Beatriz Botero<br>Carolina Sarmiento<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Center for Design and Material Culture<\/strong> <strong>Ruth Davis Design Gallery<br><\/strong>Sarah Carter<br>Laura Sims Peck<br>Adriana Barrios<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>School of Human Ecology University of Wisconsin\u2013Madison<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jane Rafferty Thiele Professorship<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Latin American, Caribbean and Iberian Studies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Anonymous Fund<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Wisconsin Alumni Research Association<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1164\" height=\"1164\" src=\"https:\/\/lacisreview.lacis.wisc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/731\/2026\/07\/Imagen_perfil-13.webp\" alt=\"Portrait of a person with light-colored hair, wearing a beige embroidered top, standing in a field of red flowers with hills visible in the background.\" class=\"wp-image-459 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lacisreview.lacis.wisc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/731\/2026\/07\/Imagen_perfil-13.webp 1164w, https:\/\/lacisreview.lacis.wisc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/731\/2026\/07\/Imagen_perfil-13-600x600.webp 600w, https:\/\/lacisreview.lacis.wisc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/731\/2026\/07\/Imagen_perfil-13-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/lacisreview.lacis.wisc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/731\/2026\/07\/Imagen_perfil-13-768x768.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1164px) 100vw, 1164px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><br>About the Artist<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Carolyn Kallenborn<\/strong>, Professor Emerita from the University of Wisconsin, is an internationally acclaimed artist working with textiles, film, installation, and community projects.
