Join us for the opening of Fitting Room, an exhibition by Bay Area-based textile artist Maria A. Guzmán Capron.

Guzmán Capron’s work explores cultural hybridity, a non-binary sense of self, and the competing desires to assimilate and to be seen. As someone who has moved between and within multiple cultures, geographies, and communities, Guzmán Capron’s works respond to and celebrate the varying identities that we inhabit. Working predominantly with recycled and thrifted fabrics, the artist melds different materials—velvet, silk, cotton, linen—with silkscreening and painting, which provide additional layers conceptually and physically. Fabrics are central to our sense-memory, and in the performance of ourselves.
