María Eugenia Trujillo (Pereira, 1953)
Curator: Jimena Peña Bennett
January 12 – February 28, 2026
The MAC presented i adhere, i persist, i resist, a show that revealed María Eugenia Trujillo's facet as a hand embroiderer and weaver. Curator Jimena Peña Bennett described the exhibition as «an intimate invitation to move through spaces where offering and mourning coexist».
Through embroidery and weaving —with red and black thread as recurring metaphors for the vital connection— the artist proposed an intimate journey honoring motherhood, memory, and mourning, understanding the maternal land and mothers as sources of memory and feelings of loss, both on a personal level and in a nation's collective mourning.
Among the works presented, the following stood out: Intimate Cartographies, Offering, Mother and Parallel Vase, pieces that explore feminine identity, spirituality, and resistance through textile art and contemporary sculpture.
Trujillo is also known for her earlier exhibition Hidden Women, which led to a landmark ruling by Colombia's Supreme Court of Justice in defense of freedom of expression.
