Johannesburg, South Africa

Johannesburg Contemporary Art Foundation May 2024 / December 2024

Ecospheres presents an installation in which Mater shares the reflections that emerged from a deep immersion in the Andes and Amazon of Peru, in collaboration with the Johannesburg Contemporary Art Foundation (JCAF). Guided by the knowledge of local communities, we explored medicinal uses, intertwined natural fibers, and expressed symbolism through techniques that connect nature and cultural memory. This exhibition, curated by JCAF, invites visitors to discover how we co-create and inhabit our spaces alongside artists such as Isabella Celis, Alejandra Ortiz de Zevallos, and the Bigo Project.
