For the production of my Curtains, I have worked and collaborated with different people, under different circumstances, and in different contexts. With Myriam, a seamstress in Santiago, Chile. With artist friend Johanna in New York. With a textile studio ran only by men in Beijing. With Laura and Nancy at Ecuacortinas, a family-run upholstery company en Cuenca, Ecuador. With Mrs. Marie and Mrs. Cyrila, two seniors who I taught weekly for about 4 years as part of an Art Program run by the New York City Housing Authority. With Dora, a Mayan woman I met in a market, and with Olga, an expert in natural pigment dyes who was recommended, in Antigua, Guatemala. With Valentina y Alex, two young designers, members of the collective Plató, in São Paulo. With the great women of de Associação das Bordadeiras do Jardim Conceição, an embroidery cooperative in the outskirts of São Paulo. With Alejandra, a friend and Argentinean immigrant based in Queens, New York. With Fayza and Harbia, two middle eastern immigrants in Stavanger, Norway. With the women of all ages and levels of experience from the open workshop, I did in Gothenburg. With Marcos and Lucia, a couple of Wixárika artisans from Zacatecas, Mexico. With Damaris and Juan Carlos, two artisans from the town of Sanchez, in the Dominican Republic. By distance with Ernesto, a clothing manufacturer in Managua, Nicaragua. With Khadijah Cypress, a Miccosukee artisan from South Florida. From all these people, I have learned. Thanks to all of them the Curtains have grown. Thanks to their knowledge and skills, and the exchange produced between them and my work, the Curtains exist as they are. Felipe Mujica
