Nunu Fine Art is pleased to congratulate Peruvian artist Ana Teresa Barboza (born 1981, Lima) on her participation in Tecendo Histórias – Arte Têxtil Latinoamericana, an exhibition presented by Sesc Tijuca and Instituto Artistas Latinas in Rio de Janeiro. The exhibition opened on March 14, 2026, and will remain on view through June 14, 2026. 

Tecendo Histórias – Arte Têxtil Latinoamericana brings together artists from Brazil, Argentina, Guatemala, and Peru. Through diverse textile practices, the exhibition highlights the cultural strength of Latin American textile traditions and the agency of women artists who engage ancestral techniques in dialogue with contemporary issues. Taking textile material as a point of departure, the exhibition positions fiber as a medium embedded with memory, lived experience, and symbolic meaning. Through the interweaving of threads, layered structures emerge in which everyday life and ritual traditions intersect. Within these works, ancestral knowledge and textile structures are reinterpreted through the lens of contemporary art, serving not only as witnesses to historical experience but also as expressions of ongoing creative vitality and cultural resilience. 

Ana Teresa Barboza’s practice explores transformations of the natural landscape through textile media. Working with fibers from diverse origins, she approaches weaving not merely as a technique but as a language capable of connecting territories, ecosystems, and artisanal practices. In the works presented in this exhibition, Barboza combines embroidery, weaving, and photography to reveal the interdependent relationships between living beings and their natural environment, emphasizing the networks that sustain ecosystems as well as the processes of continuous growth and transformation found in nature.
