This project brings together the practices of María Sosa Ruíz (Mexico) and Andrea Monroy Palacios (Guatemala), two artists who, from different perspectives, interweave memory, history, and materiality to question the ways in which our cultural and political realities have been shaped.

Andrea Monroy Palacios works from the Guatemalan textile tradition, exploring weaving and embroidery as forms of manual writing and as a living archive of individual and collective identities.

Her pieces turn textiles into a medium of thought, where techniques and materials are inseparable from the message.

María Sosa, for her part, delves into the processes of conquest and the contact between Indigenous peoples and Europeans, understanding history as a sculptural material that can be molded to intervene in the present. Drawing on methodologies that intertwine anthropology, archaeology, and artistic practice, her work activates memories and confronts the colonial traces that continue to shape the contemporary world.

Together, their works open a space of resonance where historical observation and textile tradition enter into dialogue as forms of resistance and critical reinterpretation of the past. The gesture of weaving and the act of excavation meet here as practices of recovery and reconfiguration, generating a project that understands memory not as a fixed remnant, but as a living territory in constant transformation.
