A fascinating exploration of how artists are using traditional textile techniques to tell modern, global stories.

Exhibition organised by Fundación MAPFRE in collaboration with Carré d’Art, Nîmes Museum of Contemporary Art.

Colombian photographer Felipe Romero Beltrán presents Bravo, a visual narrative centered on the Rio Bravo, a territory marked by migration and identity tensions. Through portraits, interiors, and landscapes, he explores spaces of waiting, suspended bodies, and the social realities of a border.

From 15 October to 7 December 2025, the Studio presents Dialect by Felipe Romero Beltrán, an exhibition that invites viewers to experience time and waiting through gestures and glances.

Bringing together sixteen emerging and established artists, Strings Attached embraces the intersections of art, music, literature, poetry, and performance. Each artist has selected a book from the Kesoyan book collection as a reference for a new work, without restrictions on medium, form, or scale. The resulting responses forge dialogue across disciplines, asking what new spaces of exchange can emerge when creative processes are set in motion.

Presented in full for the first time, between MNAC and Carpintarias de São Lázaro, 'Dialecto' follows three young Moroccan migrants over the course of three years as they are exiled in Kafkaesque limbo in Seville, in the south of Spain. When migrant minors enter the country illegally and cannot yet be considered adults, they enter the custody of the State, which submits them to an almost three-year-long process to obtain legal status.

What Holds The Structure is Maria Appleton’s second solo presentation at Galeria Foco. Through acts of weaving, un-doing, and re-use, the artist, materially and conceptually questions the notion that life is made-up-of and upheld by neatly intersecting threads. Rather, Appleton suggests that events follow an uninterrupted unfolding, made up of shifting perspectives, which incorporate knots and are shaped by loss, in the form of gaps, opacities or voids in the weave. The title of the exhibition at once asks and declares that there is a thing behind all things, including structure, which holds everything in a chaotic balance that is beyond our comprehension, yet within haptic reach.

Identity and geography intersect in Romero Beltrán's conceptual poetics of suspended time and human resilience on the US-Mexico border.
