“Jacinto’s Castle of Dreams” emerges from a collaboration between the designer Ángela Damman and a group of talented artisans from different communities in the interior of Yucatan. In this sculptural work, the first of its kind, the designer explores ways in which the evolution of handcrafts and textiles can weave new bridges between tradition, memory, and contemporaneity.
Transcending and radicalizing the materiality of the henequen fiber, a native plant of Yucatan, as well as the plasticity of the object itself. Through the Yucatecan hammock, one of the most sophisticated in all Latin America, Angela presents a powerful sample that allows us to appreciate, as never before, the three-dimensional possibilities of this fiber.
