Arquetopia

Working with textiles and natural dyes is not just technique.
It is a way of engaging material histories shaped by extraction and ancestral knowledge.

At Arquetopia, material practice becomes critical research:
learning through making, situating color in its historical and political contexts.

The Power of Protest is a two-week silkscreen printing program in Puebla, Mexico, focused on political posters and the visual language of resistance. Grounded in Mexico’s long histories of graphic activism, popular print traditions, and social movements, participants develop their own protest images through hands-on printing, critical discussions on art and power, and reflection on how images circulate in struggles for justice. The program connects material practice with anti-colonial perspectives, local histories, and contemporary forms of dissent, exploring how graphic art becomes a tool for visibility, solidarity, and collective resistance.

✨ Visitas Guiadas en “De lo Bello a lo Invisible” ✨

En esta exposición de Francisco Guevara, curada por Emmanuel Ortega, el arte abre un espacio para repensar la responsabilidad histórica. Pero entre todas las piezas destaca el enigma de un espejo que conecta a Isabel I de Inglaterra con Moctezuma II de Tenochtitlán: un objeto que refleja cómo el poder, la visión y lo invisible se han entrelazado en nuestra historia global.
