AMA offers free tours of this exhibition of large and colorful textile patchworks by Paola Podestá of Valparaíso, Chile. The exhibition addresses issues related to women’s rights, fracking, the depletion of natural resources, immigration, and mental health. Podestá uses patchwork to reinforce the idea that—much like the fabric scraps in a quilt—our challenges are interconnected and benefit from collective approaches to building a more inclusive and sustainable future for all.
