It refers to warm clothing, protection against the elements, or figuratively, a place of safety. In a global context of indiscriminate and systematic destruction of life-sustaining conditions, we continue to center collectivity and mutual care through words, sounds, images, materials, and foundational technologies that depend on entanglement and interconnectedness. Abrigo features painting, textile sculpture, poetry, sound and film.

In that Empire, the Art of Cartography attained such Perfection that the map of a single Province occupied an entire City, and the map of the Empire, an entire Province. In time, these Excessive Maps did not satisfy and the Schools of Cartographers built a Map of the Empire, that was of the Size of the Empire, and which coincided point for point with it. Less Addicted to the Study of Cartography, the Following Generations understood that that dilated Map was Useless and not without Pitilessness they delivered it to the Inclemencies of the Sun and the Winters. In the Deserts of the West endure broken Ruins of the Map, inhabited by Animals and Beggars; in the whole country there is no other relic of the Disciplines of Geography.

Did you dance with young angels while you were dreaming? Did the butterfly light you up when it burned with the eternal light of the rose?Did the phoenix appear clearly before you and call you by your name? Did you see the morning dawn from the fingers of the one you love? Did you touch the dream with your hand or did you leave it to dream alone, aware suddenly of your own absence? Dreamers don't abandon their dreams, they flare and continue the life they have in the dream…tell me how you lived your dream in a certain place and I'll tell you who you are. And now, as you awaken, remember if you have wronged your dream. And if you have, then remember the last dance of the swan.
