“The Cartwheel Galaxy was identified several years ago as one of the farthest from Earth. Its odd shape, color, and strong presence demanded a woven depiction of this galactic wonder. I wove a portrait of the Cartwheel Galaxy in five panels. The panels evoke the traditional Mexican rebozo. Rebozos remind us of women’s power. The five panels hang together like sisters, with safety pins that connect the panels tenuously. I use the same materials for each panel: wire, linen, cotton, raffia, and metallic threads. When I think of my hand with five fingers that are all different but equally important. The density was eight wires per inch. It’s a combination of tapestry and plain weave on a floor loom.” - Consuelo Jimenez Underwood

Dachuk’s series “my neck, my back” speaks to growth and transformation: fruits and vegetables maturing for harvest, and the simultaneous physiological and emotional changes women and children undergo during pregnancy. From seed to soil, from infertility to fertility, from the ways we carry life to the labor and care that follow. Cast from an antique Chinese ceramic pillow—once used to preserve elaborate hairstyles overnight—these porcelain baby forms evoke the quiet labor that props up wealth and status. Reimagined here, they bear the weight of Asian women’s work, smiling as they kneel, backs burdened.

We are happy to announce Change / Cambio by gallery artist Ethel Shipton, which was acquired by El Museo del Barrio, will be part of Histórias Latinoamericanas—Latin American Histories, curated by Amanda Carneiro, Julieta González, and assistance of Teo Teotonio at  Museu de Arte de São Paulo. The exhibition will be organized into five sections that explore different ways of imagining and representing Latin America, addressing key issues for understanding the disputes surrounding its historical and symbolic construction, its communal forms of social organization, migrations and diasporas, and alternative visions of the world and the cosmos, which invite us to imagine possible futures in the face of the social, ecological, and spiritual crises of the present.

Histórias Latinoamericanas—Latin American Histories opens at the Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand (MASP) on September 4, 2026, and runs through January 31, 2027.

Change / Cambio draws inspiration from the political atmosphere we have been living in, particularly the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections. The work was created before the COVID-19 pandemic struck, and as Shipton states, “this work seems to speak louder now as we find ourselves in a completely different world.”

Gallery artist Consuelo Jimenez Underwood is proudly featured in “Handwork: Handcrafted Objects that Made America”, created in partnership with Craft in America to celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary. As the official book of a year-long national initiative,”Handwork: Celebrating American Craft”, the publication offers a celebration of America’s spirit through ordinary, surprising, and overlooked handcrafted objects spanning more than 250 years. Handwork journeys through time and across the multiplicity of cultures that have made America, uncovering the powerful stories behind objects that shaped American life. As a contemporary craft artist, Jimenez Underwood is featured as a maker who continues prioritizing and redefining the handmade, renewing the rebozo in her work, Inside the Rain Rebozo. We’re grateful to HANDWORK 2026 for highlighting the remarkable work of CJU.

After a six-year drought ended in Jimenez Underwood’s home state of California, she began this playful rebozo following the rain’s journey. At the top is a colorful depiction of the heavens, similar to what can be found in Mother Rain Rebozo. Below, the rain falls in a rainbow of zig zags, mimicking sunshine hitting water and bringing the sound of wind chimes to mind. Inside the raindrops is a kaleidoscope of colors. The rain illuminates Californian terrain, transforming the land from dull to brilliant shades of pink, blue, green, and gold.
