The artist will guide visitors through the exhibition’s three major installations: Rhapsody, which brings together weaving, film, sound, and sculpture through collaborations with artists and makers from the Global South; Las Tres Gracias, an operatic installation exploring the Western myth of democracy and cycles of destruction and renewal; and Life in the Forest, a film, sound, and sculpture installation examining the normalization of contemporary forms of fascism.

In Rhapsody, Jimena Sarno engages craft traditions to imagine a future built on values of collectivity, reconfiguration, and repair. Within a global context of extreme violence, fragmentation, and destruction, the artists share time, space, and resources through making and the collective production of alternative forms of knowledge. The central installation features objects made using techniques—including weaving, woodworking, and ceramics—that rely on knowledge passed from maker to maker. These objects are tools, at once utilitarian and utopian, designed for a hoped-for, not-so-distant future built on solidarity and mutual care.
