Encuentros y Ceremonias presented new works by Sofía Magdits Espinoza, including her ongoing participatory weaving project Nos vemos en el cosmos (See you in the Cosmos), carried out by the artist, friends, and guests together at KIOSK.
Nos vemos en el cosmos is a participatory weaving project formed through a plurality of gestures and repetition of actions—a dialogue between artist and audience.
From Sofía Magdits Espinoza:
Weaving, meeting, sharing.
You, the textile and me.
People interweaving themselves,
stories interweaving themselves.
A sky connecting people,
feeling,
remembering,
holding memories,
guarding secrets,
holding time still.
The repetition inherent in weaving connects artisan knowledge to the collective body, collaboratively building a storyline that centers process and presence. The interweaving of threads in different shades of blue and white evokes a celestial skyscape—clouds forming and dissolving on a blue-sky day. A yellow thread and name tag mark each contribution, recording the presence of each weaver in the fabric.
As one weaving concludes, another begins, re-opening the invitation to weave together. The uniqueness of each collaboration celebrates the intertwining of stories and people, positioning the work as a witness to time—a link between memories and matter, between us and the cosmos.
These weaving-encounters are moments of sharing, intimacy, and companionship through doing. They offer a space of disconnection and connection, play and meditation, release and embrace, and above all: weaving. Nos vemos en el cosmos.
