Vegetable Fabrics brings us closer to the processes of growth and transformation of the plant organism, posing a relationship with them from their continuity with the tissues made by the human being. In tropical latitudes, the climate allows the plant world to manifest itself in an exuberant way and to develop a great diversity of species and ecosystems. The cultures that inhabited our territory created a close link with the coastal wetland plants, such as Schoenoplectus americanus or Juncus Cyperaceae. From their identification with the plant world, they developed cosmovisions and artisan techniques that became evident in ritual objects. Vegetable Fabrics develops pieces that relate the internal structures of plants with the manual processes of weaving and transformation of the fibers.

The light projected through the mineral transforms the space and invites us to introspection, to a moment of silence, of relationship with the experience of luminosity as when we observe the sun or a star. Through the piece we experience the passage from the material to the immaterial, inevitably also going back to the memory of the place of origin, Ayacucho. However, the light projected from the interior speaks to us of a latent energy of transformation in the future.

ADA is a space that brings together works that explore the diversity of landscapes, technologies and local materials, investigating the continuity that exists between natural environments and cultural creations.

ADA digital portfolio brings together interdisciplinar artwork developed by Studio RF that reflects critically on our contemporary habitat, providing a space for conversation between visual and scenic arts, craft, design, architecture and other disciplines beyond art.

Based on the relationship between natural environment, space, material and body, the pieces are focused on the exploration of natural and cultural diversity, as well as sustainable collaborative small scale production with healthy local materials. ADA aims to foster social and environmental change towards a new heterogeneous and dynamic equilibrium, based on collective engagement, local diversity and decentralised power relations.   A starting point in ADA is critical reflection around the contemporary objects and spaces that shape our daily activities. Most of them are the result of generic processes of industrialization and globalization of urban life, disarticulated from cultural, social and territorial specificity.

ADA questions what is established today as contemporary or modern. Most of our normalized behaviours are based only on occidental – linear, logos male centric – or neoliberal individual perspectives. ADA fosters instead to create critical and collaborative projects connecting and articulating diverse artists, artisans, communities, thinkers and creators that expand the field of art/design/architecture through experimentation. Materiality and corporality approaches open our vision to understand humans and nonhumans organisms interactions, establishing new respectful relations and recovering old handcraft traditions and rituals of embodiment as a continuum between culture and nature as well as body and territory.
