SALA PORRAS BARNECHEA – CENTRO CULTURAL RICARDO PALMA. LIMA
“Esta muestra colectiva aborda el concepto de memoria a partir de las cosas naturales y materiales que conforman el entorno. Así, la memoria no solo es concebida desde el sujeto que recuerda sino desde los objetos materiales que funcionan como mediadores sociales y la misma naturaleza como sujeto de derecho. Cuando la memoria se quiebra emergen grietas y lagunas, que pueden ser llenadas por otros recuerdos o que pueden permanecer vacías revelando la fisura. Los objetos emergen como pesquisas, huellas o restos evidenciando el vacío, pero también configurando piezas claves para la reconstrucción del pasado y la comprensión del presente; se trata de una arqueología de los objetos que alberga en ellos mismos su propia memoria.(…)”

ANNA-MARIA AND STEPHEN KELLEN GALLERY – SHEILA C. JOHNSON DESIGN CENTER. NEW YORK
La inspiración para esta exposición es el Centenario de The New School. En el presente histórico mira hacia atrás y hace un balance del legado de esta institución, atendiendo a las posibilidades dinámicas pero a menudo ocultas y latentes inherentes a los muchos pasados de la escuela. La exposición visualiza el archivo como un sitio de momentos latentes que podrían convertirse en guiones y partituras para futuros posibles. A través de obras de arte encargadas, piezas de la colección de arte y archivos de The New School, y compromisos y actuaciones dirigidas por artistas, In the Historical Present invita a los espectadores a concebir la institución en sí misma como un guión: un conjunto de procedimientos, metodologías y prácticas discursivas que se desarrollan a través del tiempo.
Artistas: Daniel Bejar, Black Lunch Table, Sheila Bridges, Lucia Cuba, Domestic Performance Agency, Nikita Gale, Jonathan Gardenhire, Camilo Godoy, David Hammons, Matthew Jensen, Sue Jeong Ka, Glenn Ligon, Sable Elyse Smith, Caroline Woolard, Shevaun Wright, Yonkers International Press.

Para coincidir con la exposición Mundo Latinx (Latinx World) en Fashion Space Gallery, organizamos una conversación presidida por la Dra. Lara Torres con la diseñadora de modas, artista e investigadora social, Lucia Cuba, para explorar su práctica y uso de prendas como artefactos políticos y performativos. La discusión también examinó las narrativas en contra de la moda y los textiles y las continuas preguntas de Lucia sobre el lenguaje establecido de la moda a través de proyectos como el Artículo 6, Ejercicios sobre la salud (EOH) y otros proyectos.
LinkAbril marcó el inicio de ESPACIO DISEÑO, un nuevo proyecto colectivo que busca generar un lugar de encuentro y diálogo en torno al Diseño en el Perú. Para esta primera activación , preparamos una instalación en la que Rafael Freyre (Estudio Rafael Freyre), Verónica Majluf (vm & Estudio gráfico) y yo, pusimos en conversación 3 obras que se aproximan a la construcción, la diversidad y las prácticas del diseño en / desde el país. Esta primera iteración se llevó a cabo en el marco de la Feria Internacional de Arte ART LIMA, del 4 al 7 de abril.
En el marco de esta feria, presenté la obra Estados unidos de… (2013), que traspone narrativas sobre esterilizaciones forzadas en mujeres de la China, Estados Unidos y Perú, vinculadas críticamente y convertidas en tres piezas que crean un único cuerpo visible de contextos marcados por la violencia del Estado, la discriminación, el estigma y la negación extrema de las voces de las minorías y de las mujeres. Esta obra busca activar diálogos multidimensionales y translocales sobre asuntos de género, voluntad y política, incidiendo en diversas audiencias, y permitiendo una comprensión expandida sobre la condición de las mujeres y de sus cuerpos políticos en el mundo de hoy. Estados unidos de… forma parte de las acciones del proyecto Artículo 6.
En el marco del ART LIMA, ESPACIO DISEÑO también participó en el conversatorio “Espacio y prácticas: 3 miradas sobre el diseño en el Perú” , moderado por el diseñador y gestor cultural Armando Andrade.

Power in Resistance expone voces de resistencia y resiliencia que florecen en todo el continente americano como respuesta a siglos de racismo, pobreza y exclusión económica y social generalizada de los pueblos indígenas de la región. Desde el hemisferio sur de los mapuche hasta los cree en el norte, los artistas de Power in Resistance abordan el impacto de la colonización, incluida la esterilización forzada, el riesgo de extinción del idioma, las escuelas residenciales, las identidades vergonzosas y la violencia. Contrarrestando tales intentos de eliminación cultural, los artistas continúan un camino de verdad, reconocimiento, poder y transformación.

LinkEn “35 vestibles para muñecxs americanxs no acompañadxs”, la agencia de la ropa – y de lo vestible- se destaca por la posibilidad de vestir un dispositivo generalmente dirigido a niñxs, pero destinado a despertar la atención política y la posición de los adultos. El objetivo final de este trabajo es denunciar la forma en que los niños inmigrantes son tratados y representados en los Estados Unidos hoy, y cómo las políticas migratorias actuales afectan los derechos humanos básicos de los menores. (…) Mi objetivo es crear una nueva iteración de American Doll utilizando fragmentos de historias grabadas sobre estos menores, tomados en la frontera por la policía y separados de sus familias. Estas muñecas tienen como objetivo reificar la situación y la experiencia de los niños “no acompañados”, que se enfrentan a un contexto institucional absurdo pero en última instancia cruel marcado por la privación, el trauma y la pérdida. La forma de muñecx sirve para acercar a un público adulto al mundo de los no adultos al crear un mundo distópico en el que las voces de los niños, en un idioma diferente al inglés y expresando sus pensamientos y necesidades, se ignoran sistemáticamente.(…)

Fact Craft is a collaborative, cross-disciplinary program series that examines the ways “facts” are constructed, crafted, presented and disseminated. Each program invites a guest to facilitate a group action that intervenes in, questions, or subverts systems of ‘fact craft’ across disciplines. These actions address oppressive cultural systems by generating alternatives and jamming existing ones. The series will culminate on November 18, 2017 with a celebratory public event that includes presentations of participant projects.
LinkLinking design, fiber arts, public health and social research, our October WIP resident Lucia Cuba will be working on the series “Wearables for/to protest”, as part of her ongoing project “Exercises on Health” (EoH): a multi-series project that addresses how people and communities think about and value health, and how health may become a more tangible and concrete horizon for intervention once people can relate to it through public conversation. EoH itself is a long-term project that stands at the intersection of fashion design and public health. Its objective is to explore notions of health and its absence by addressing the hardships and opportunities the experience of health can bring forth. The project aims to raise awareness on issues of health and politics at the individual and social level, foregrounding local and international dimensions of health outcomes. Essentially, EoH relocates the places where debates and exchanges surrounding health often take place, promoting reflexivity and personal agency to advance human wellbeing.
During the WIP residency at TAC, Lucia will be working on the third chapter of EoH (EoH3), exploring representations of sexual and reproductive health at the individual and social level, addressing the situation of sexual and reproductive rights, services, as well as the paths to access and promotion of these kinds of rights in the United States.
This chapter of the project will be structured in two main parts:
•Fostering collective conversations with the public aimed at mapping a bottom-up visions of the material and symbolic apparatus that governs sexual and reproductive health in New York;
•Advancing a participative design framework to continue working on a series of wearable devices as part of the collection “Wearables for/to Protest”, aimed at impacting people and places, as well as personal and public agendas related to this dimension of health.
You can visit Lucia’s installation and participate in this project from October 9th – 30th at our Manhattan studio, and learn more about her work and process while engaging in conversation during Artist Open Hours, on Saturdays 2-5PM.

Link“Beyond Textiles: a conversation about fashion and textile design in/from Peru” brings together a group of Peruvian practitioners and scholars working in the field of fashion and textile design.
Designers Mozhdeh Matin (Mozh Mozh), Alessandra Petersen (Alessandra Petersen), and scholar Silvia Vega-Llona (Eugene Lang, TNS) will engage in a conversation facilitated by professor Lucia Cuba (School of Fashion, Parsons TNS) on the characteristics, aesthetics and cultural heritage behind fashion design practices in Peru.
This panel aims to trigger multiple conversations about fashion and textile practices in Latin America, among TNS’s educational community and the general public, and marks the beginning of a series of activities to be developed throughout this academic year, aiming to establish a network of scholars and practitioners interested in, or working in the field of fashion and textile design in that region.

LinkNEW YORK, NY (February 2, 2017) – The Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) announces the Spring session of its Artist Studios Program and Van Lier Fellowship. The selected artists, all of whom will be assigned open studio space in the Museum from February through May, are Lucia Cuba, Camille Hoffman, Ariel Jackson, Adam Ledford, Yoshiyuki Minami, Rachel Rader, and Lauren Skelly Bailey. Hoffman will be the Museum’s Van Lier Fellow.
An initiative launched by the MAD Education Department in 2008, the Artist Studios Program selects six emerging artists and designers, and assigns each a day of the week to work in one of the Museum’s sixth-floor open studios for a four-month period. The studios are accessible to the public, and visitors to MAD are invited to observe and interact with the artists at work. In 2016, the Museum introduced the Van Lier Fellowship as an addition to the program. The fellowship, funded by the New York Community Trust, provides a talented, culturally underrepresented rising artist with financial support and a dedicated studio at MAD for full-time use.

An innovative model of engagement, the Artist Studios Program has served more than 130 emerging and midcareer artists and designers. The artists welcome dialogue, making themselves available to discuss their work and craft; visitors to the studios are encouraged to inquire about their processes, materials, and concepts. This unusual course of communication is a remarkable opportunity for artists and visitors alike.
“The artists chosen for this session all have very investigatory practices. They rigorously explore materials, patterns, social conflicts, and complex histories,” said Carli Beseau, Manager of Artist Studios and Docent Programs at MAD. “I think visitors will find their conversations with the artists to be engaging and unexpected.”
Additionally, residents and fellows have the opportunity to host one MADmakes workshop during their residency cycle. MADmakes is a drop-in, hands-on educational series that invites visitors to learn the artists’ own methods and test their skills at art making and creative production. The series engages visitors in various techniques and ideas, facilitating greater understanding and appreciation of workmanship. Great for visitors of all ages, backgrounds, and interests, MADmakes workshops are free with Museum admission. They will take place as follows:
Thursday, February 16, 6 pm – Lauren Skelly Bailey Thursday, March 9, 6 pm – Lucia Cuba
Thursday, April 13, 6 pm – Adam Ledford
Thursday, May 11, 6 pm – Camille Hoffman and Ariel Jackson
The Artist Studios Pecha Kucha Talk and Closing Reception will take place Thursday, May 18, 2017, at 6:30 pm.
The Spring 2017 Artist Studios Residents and Van Lier Fellow were selected from over 350 applicants by the Artist Studios Selection Committee, made up of Museum staff members and outside professionals in the fields of art, craft, and design.
Material Cultures is a group exhibition featuring the work of eight contemporary visual artists who engage with and respond to essential elements of textile: weaving, pattern, draping, embellishing, and wearing. One of the oldest forms of human production, textiles maintain profound connections to history, ritual practice, cultural identity, creative expression, and politics. Working with sculpture, installation, performance, and social practice, the artists in Material Cultures produce works that highlight the role of textiles in shaping traditional and contemporary culture, recognizing the conceptual power of cloth as reflective of the human experience. Exhibiting artists include Laura Anderson Barbata, Xenobia Bailey, Lucia Cuba, Adrian Esparza, Elana Herzog, Lorenzo Hurtado Segovia, Sophia Narrett, and Marela Zacarias.
Some of the artists in Material Cultures respond to existing cloth as objects with the power to stimulate memory or meaning, using the charged implications of textiles to unravel specific aspects of culture. Laura Anderson Barbata exhibits a group of costumes that explore the ways in which indigo – a dye used in fabric internationally and carrying varied political and social implications – functions when activated by the body. Elana Herzog explores the physicality of the Persian rug—a domestic object, an emblem of civilization—as well as ideas of collapse and growth. Her work tells a history of evolution yet alludes to the ruinous fate of objects, nature, order, and social structures.
Other artists produce their work using such textile-specific techniques as crochet and embroidery. Working with crochet since the 1970s and drawn to the “aesthetic of funk,” costume designer and artist Xenobia Bailey presents a crocheted tent, a form that suggests protection, the gospel revival tent of the American rural south, and the realm of mythology. And Sophia Narrett uses complex embroidered paintings to explore the dark underside of American popular culture and its expectations of women, gathering content from reality TV, tabloids, social media, and her own experiences. Artist Lucia Cuba finds meaning in textiles by conceiving them as wearable objects with agency. She continues exploring issues of health and politics through her project Exercises on Health – Part 2, a series of garment-base explorations developed through interviews conducted with individuals dealing with cancer. The garments are meant to trigger conversations about illness and health, and the ways we experience and understand them.
Still other artists find powerful content within the technical aspects of cloth-making, drawing formal connections between textile technique and artistic concept. Inspired by his childhood on the borderlands between Mexico and the United States, Adrian Esparza uses the stereotypical symbol of traditional Mexican culture, the serape, and deconstructs it to create ephemeral geometric abstractions, expanding upon the ability for cultural objects to be understood and interacted with. Also growing up near the Mexican/ United States border, Lorenzo Hurtado Segovia paints long strips of paper that he painstakingly weaves together to create large-scale works that entwine artistic techniques and disparate ideas of popular tradition with contemporary aesthetics, of art with craft, and of the artist’s roots with his current life. As a stunning centerpiece to the exhibition, Marela Zacarias presents a monumentally scaled white monochrome sculpture that appears to cascade down the gallery wall that mimics the appearance of fabric and highlights the significance of draping to textiles and to art history.

LinkMy work featured and reviewed as part of the publication “Design as Future-Making”.
“Design as Future-Making brings together leading international designers, scholars, and critics to address ways in which design is shaping the future. The contributors share an understanding of design as a practice that, with its focus on innovation and newness, is a natural ally of futurity. Ultimately, the choices made by designers are understood here as choices about the kind of world we want to live in. Design as Future-Making locates design in a space of creative and critical reflection, examining the expanding nature of practice in fields such as biomedicine, sustainability, digital crafting, fashion, architecture, urbanism, and design activism.
The authors contextualize design and its affects within issues of social justice, environmental health, political agency, education, and the right to pleasure and play. Collectively, they make the case that, as an integrated mode of thought and action, design is intrinsically social and deeply political."

LinkMy work is featured in the publication “The Future of Fashion is Now”.
“A garment that responds to emotions, lace patterns that grow from a plant, textile that decomposes itself and fashion that literally zips people together… With a critical look at today’s fashion industry, more than fifty young designers and a number of illustrious innovators such as Viktor&Rolf and Comme des Garçons give us their vision of the fashion of tomorrow.
The development of new technologies and a grasp of the importance of sustainability are what is driving young designers worldwide and causing them to expand the borders of the traditional fashion system. With their innovative solutions and fresh designs, this latest generation of fashion designers has arrived at the interface between fashion and art.
At the invitation of Han Nefkens Fashion on the Edge, and scouted by fashion experts from around the world, six designers have each produced a new work especially for the exhibition The Future of Fashion is Now: Iris van Herpen (the Netherlands), Digest Design Workshop (China), Lucía Cuba (Peru), Craig Green (Great Britain), D&K (Australia) and Olek (Poland/the United States).
This book not only provides an overview of the work by the more than fifty designers being shown at the exhibition, but it also traces the development of and ideas behind the exhibition’s special works."

+ About the Exhibition
The term “new territories,” as evoked by Italian architect and designer Gaetano Pesce, refers to the state of making in today’s globalized society, a phenomenon that has helped to spur a confluence of art, design, and craft. The exhibition New Territories: Laboratories for Design, Craft, and Art in Latin America will examine this trend in several distinct cities throughout Latin America, where some of the most pertinent new directions in arts and design are emerging today.
New Territories explores the collaborations between small manufacturing operations and craftspersons, artists, and designers, and demonstrates how the resulting work addresses not only the issues of commodification and production, but also of urbanization, displacement, and sustainability. The exhibition will explore a number of key themes, including: the dialogue between contemporary trends and artistic legacies in Latin American art; the use of repurposed materials in strategies of upcyling; the blending of digital and traditional skills; and the reclamation of personal and public space.
New Territories is organized by MAD’s Acting Chief Curator Lowery Stokes Sims and Adriana Kertzer, Curatorial Assistant and Project Manager. It follows MAD’s groundbreaking 2010 exhibition The Global Africa Project, which presented new craft, design, and art that transcended nationality and regionalism in its presentation of the new nomadic paradigm of African identity. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated, full color catalogue that will be published in separate English and Spanish editions by Turner Libros of Madrid and Mexico City.
Major support for New Territories: Laboratories for Design, Craft and Art in Latin America is provided by the Ford Foundation and the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation. Additional support is provided by Furthermore: a program of the J. M. Kaplan Fund, Phillips, The Venezuelan American Endowment for the Arts, The Louise D. and Morton J. Macks Family Foundation, and the Consulate General of Brazil in New York.

A jury of experts, including the fashion-duo Viktor&Rolf and Karin Swerink, Editor-in-Chief of Vogue, have awarded the prize to six young fashion designers. They are each creating a new work on the cusp between fashion and art. These new works will be on show for the first time in the exhibition ‘The Future of Fashion is Now’, which will open this autumn in Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen.
The jury is made up of Viktor&Rolf, Karin Swerink, Vassilis Zidianakis (Atopos cvc), Han Nefkens and José Teunissen. The six fashion designers and initiatives are Iris van Herpen (NL), Craig Green (GB), Aftrs/D & K (AU), Olek (PL), Digest Design (CN) and Lucia Cuba (PE). This autumn, their vision on the future of fashion will be on show in Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. The jury will be assisting the prize winners right up to the opening. The public can also follow this process via a special website that will be launched shortly. The announcement of the Han Nefkens Fashion on the Edge Awards marks the official start of the preparations for the fashion exhibition in Rotterdam.
Karin Swerink about the selection: “It had to engage, inspire and surprise me. All six designers met these three criteria." Vassilis Zidianakis (Atopos cvc): “It was clear that the body of work of all 6 designers was comprehensive, distinctive, unique.”
Exhibition
‘The Future of Fashion is Now’ – October 11, 2014 / January 18, 2015 – takes visitors on a journey along the most innovative fashion and fashion talents from all over the world and features work by designers such as Viktor&Rolf, Christophe Coppens, Martin Margiela and Hussein Chalayan. Work by more than sixty international designers is on show, from leading fashion houses to young, up-andcoming talent. The exhibition addresses the critical position young fashion designers adopt towards the fashion system and the role of clothing in today’s society. Sustainability, new technologies and the value of clothing for the identity of an individual or a community are themes with which they open the discussion about fashion of the future.
Jury and scouts
Twenty international scouts each selected two or three designers for the exhibition and the Han Nefkens Fashion on the Edge Award. This unusual method of working resulted in a selection from which the jury of experts has now chosen six prize winners.
Han Nefkens Fashion on the Edge
Han Nefkens Fashion on the Edge is an initiative of writer, benefactor and art activist Han Nefkens and fashion expert José Teunissen, in collaboration with Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. The initiative’s mission is to support fashion talent working on the cusp of fashion and art. The Han Nefkens Fashion on the Edge Award offers designers the opportunity of creating new work, which is then given on perpetual loan to the museum.
Gift
Han Nefkens recently announced that he is donating the latest haute couture collection of Viktor&Rolf to Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. This collection attracted considerable attention in the spring of 2013 in Paris and will be on show to the general public for the first time in the autumn exhibition ‘The Future of Fashion is Now’.

La diseñadora de modas e investigadora social Lucía Cuba llegará a Lima para ofrecer un único taller de diseño de modas, este 11, 12 y 13 de diciembre, dedicado a todas aquellas personas que quieran transgredir los límites de la industria de la moda y explorar nuevas posibilidades.
Lady Gaga, Mario Vargas Llosa y Magaly Solier guardan algo en común, y es que estos reconocidos personajes han llevado sobre sí prendas, con un mensaje claro, elaboradas por Lucía Cuba, una de las diseñadoras de modas más reconocidas del Perú que ha profundizado en el diseño activista como un espacio fundamental de diálogo social y cultural. Su interés, comenta Lucía, está en ampliar la comprensión del rol de los objetos de la moda, llevarlo de consideraciones puramente funcionales o estéticas, a perspectivas sociales, éticas y políticas.
Lucía, quien acaba de cursar una maestría de moda en Parsons, una de las más prestigiosas escuelas de diseño de la ciudad de Nueva York, ofrecerá –bajo la organización de SienteMag- el taller “Objetos/Sujetos: conversaciones constructivas”, un espacio de colaboración y construcción en donde se explorarán objetos del diseño de modas (vestuario, accesorios, entre otros), sus funciones y potencialidades para cuestionarnos: ¿Cuáles son las potencialidades políticas y sociales del diseño? ¿Cómo aproximarnos críticamente a los objetos del diseño?
Este proceso de exploración se llevará a cabo a través de la construcción física de dichos objetos de manera colectiva, a través de técnicas mixtas de costura, pegado, bordado, tejido, entre otras opciones.
El taller “Objetos/Sujetos: conversaciones constructivas” forma parte del Proyecto Objetos/Sujetos, una plataforma de intercambio y exploración sobre la agencia del vestuario y los objetos de la moda, de la diseñadora e investigadora peruana Lucía Cuba.
