In the Space in Between series, Cabrera extends her exploration of US-Mexico migratory politics using soft sculpture. These interpretations of cacti indigenous to the Southwestern United States are made from discarded US Border Patrol uniforms. They were made collaboratively, in workshops where largely Spanish-speaking communities recounted their immigration stories and embroidered them onto the sculptures. The participants were taught OtomĂ embroidery, a sewing technique indigenous to the OtomĂ people of central Mexico, as an effort to maintain a relationship to cultural traditions from Mexico in the USA. The colourful depictions of homes, peoples, national flags, Catholic imagery and celestial bodies contrast with the connotation of the uniforms, which for some stand for security and safety, while for others they invoke feelings of fear, resistance and histories of violence.
The series is titled after the Aztec word nepantla, which refers to places of transition and âspaces in betweenâ â suggesting a symbolic landscape where the relationships of people across divides are renegotiated.*

Unravel: The Power and Politics of Textiles in Art
(February â May 2024)
Textiles are vital to our lives. We are swaddled in them when weâre born, we wrap our bodies in them every day, and weâre shrouded in them when we die.
What does it mean to imagine a needle, a loom or a garment as a tool of resistance? How can textiles unpack, question, unspool, unravel and therefore reimagine the world around us?
Since the 1960s, textiles have become increasingly present in artistic practices for subversive ends. This is significant as the medium has been historically undervalued within the hierarchies of Western art history. Textiles have been considered âcraftâ in opposition to definitions of âfine artâ, gendered as feminine and marginalised by scholars and the art market. The 50 international artists in this show challenge these classifications, harnessing the medium to speak powerfully about intimate, everyday stories as well as wider socio-political narratives, teasing out these entangled concerns through a stitch, a knot, a braid, through the warp and the weft. These artists defy traditional expectations of textiles, embracing abstraction or figuration to push the boundaries of the medium. They draw on its material history to reveal ideas relating to gender, labour, value, ecology, ancestral knowledge, and histories of oppression, extraction and trade.
Rather than dictating a chronological history of fibre art, the exhibition is organised in thematic dialogues between artists â across both generations and geographies â to explore how artists have embraced textiles to critique or push up against regimes of power. Some artists work alone with solitary, near-meditative practices, while others reflect the shared approach that the medium often invites, working with collaborators in acts of community and solidarity. Spanning intimate hand-crafted pieces to large-scale sculptural installations, these artworks communicate multi-layered stories about lived experience, invoking the vital issues embedded in fibre and thread.
