LOGO abuenpaso

ESPAÑA

A buen paso representa un caminar de manera ligeramente acelerada y es que hay tanto por ver, conocer y descubrir en este mundo que, empujados por la curiosidad, no podemos dejar de andar. Sin correr, eso sí, que luego uno se lo pierde todo, y es que la velocidad real de un ir a buen paso es también relativa: al entorno, al ambiente, a la velocidad del pensamiento que necesita espacios de silencio para tomar forma. 

Por esta razón los libros de A buen paso son libros divertidos, cuentan historias amables e inesperadas, juegan con el lenguaje e invitan a sus lectores a jugar a su vez, hacerse preguntas y descubrir el mundo. En estos libros los protagonistas son las personas, la naturaleza y la fuerza de la vida.

Nos gusta pensar que los libros de A buen paso contribuyen a crear libres pensadores, personas curiosas e intrépidas.

Amanuta

CHILE

Amanuta es una editorial chilena que lleva más de 20 años publicando libros ilustrados para niñas/niños y jóvenes. Amanuta significa “con intención” en lengua aymara, ya que cada uno de nuestros libros ha sido creado con intención, dedicación, trabajo, y mucho cariño.

El año 2023, Amanuta recibió el premio BOP (Best Publishing House of the Year) por la feria de Bolonia, la que representa el reconocimiento más importante que se ha recibido.

LOGO Cocobooks

LOGO Diego Pun Ediciones

ESPAÑA

Diego Pun Ediciones es una ventana al mundo desde las Islas Canarias. El mundo infantil y juvenil es tratado con respeto y responsabilidad para dialogar y aprender a soñar a través de las letras y las imágenes. 

Una selección de libros pensada para hacer de la lectura un verdadero placer.

LOGO Ediciones Ekare

ESPAÑA
VENEZUELA

La palabra ekaré fue tomada de la lengua de la etnia pemón que habita en el sureste de Venezuela. Significa narración nueva o verdadera y, en un contexto más amplio, simplemente historia o cuento.

Ediciones Ekaré se creó en 1978 y su objetivo principal, hacer libros de calidad, está relacionado directamente con la experiencia en bibliotecas públicas y escolares del Banco del Libro. Hoy en día los libros de Ekaré llegan a muchos países, pero la intención inicial sigue siendo la misma: publicar libros significativos de referentes latinoamericanos y también de diversas partes del mundo.

En esos años, la oferta editorial de libros ilustrados para la infancia en América Latina era escasa y Ekaré fue el primer proyecto editorial independiente de la región especializado en editar para niños. La apuesta fue hacer libros de calidad con historias, personajes y paisajes del entorno latinoamericano, además de traducciones de reconocidos autores del resto del mundo que fuesen una ventana a otras culturas.
 

LOGO Juventud

ESPAÑA

Desde sus inicios, en 1923, Juventud apostó por la literatura infantil. la editorial tradujo clásicos de la literatura infantil y juvenil como Peter Pan y Wendy, Alicia en el país de las maravillas, Heidi, Pippi Calzaslargas o la serie de Los cinco o Las aventuras de Tintín para el público hispanoparlante.

Actualmente cuenta con autores internacionales de la talla de Oxenbury, Weisner, Ruillier, Carrier o Dubuc. Algunos de los títulos publicados por estos autores son un éxito en el ámbito pedagógico, como Por cuatro esquinitas de nada o El cazo de Lorenzo.

En la línea de álbumes de producción propia edita con autores e ilustradores de renombre como Irene Vasco, Juan Palomino o Rosanna Faria reconocidos en Latinoamérica. Pero las publicaciones que más destacan son en el ámbito de los libros de conocimientos, con libros como Mi primer libro sobre Física Cuántica o El Cerebro Humano.

En 2018 la editorial inicia una nueva línea de cómic infantil. En esta colección se encuentra la serie “Narval y Medu”, una de las más exitosa después de Tintín y Los Cinco. 

Muchos de nuestros libros han sido premiados nacional e internacionalmente, ¡hoy cumplimos 100 años y queremos seguir publicando literatura de calidad para los más jóvenes!

LOGO LECTORUM

ESTADOS UNIDOS

LOGO Leetra

A través de contenidos literarios de calidad e historias entrañables de todo el mundo, buscamos desarrollar en el niño el gusto por el arte y el conocimiento, la capacidad de discernir, y de conocer a otros a través de la lectura.

Cada uno de los títulos que integran nuestro catálogo posee un carácter único, una identidad propia para abordar temáticas que consideramos importantes. Los autores e ilustradores que conforman el catálogo de Leetra se eligen no sólo por sus cualidades artísticas, sino por su talento para contar historias y la profundidad de emociones que éstas evocan.

Buscamos la mejor calidad para la impresión de nuestros libros, siempre preocupados porque los materiales se originen de fuentes responsables con el medio ambiente.

En Leetra, un libro es a la vez un objeto preciado y una ventana al mundo. Una oportunidad para conocer, experimentar, reflexionar y explorar los propios sentimientos, los miedos y el gozo: es un lugar para aprender sobre la vida.

Para Leetra, cada libro es una experiencia.

El naranjo

MÉXICO

LOGO QUIPU

ARGENTINA

QUIPU es una editorial dedicada a la literatura infantil y juvenil que busca acompañar a niños y niñas desde los 3 años hasta la juventud con más de 250 títulos cuidadosamente elegidos, diseñados y editados, distribuidos en colecciones creadas según edades y temáticas que abarcan géneros variados: poesía, teatro, novelas, cuentos cortos, leyendas, mitos urbanos, historietas, libros álbum e ilustrados, pedagógicos y de actividades.


Nuestra misión es acercar la lectura a aquellos lectores asiduos así como a los que recién se inician y a los que les cuesta empezar en el camino de la lectura, convencidos que los libros son el principal medio para crecer, encontrar la identidad propia, construirse como ser social, poner en debate los conflictos sociales y personales que nos ocurren o en los que estamos insertos o en contacto, sea como parte de un acto individual o colectivo.


Por esto es nuestra prioridad contar con temáticas que no solo entretengan sino que condigan con nuestra misión, en formatos accesibles tanto desde la lectura en sí misma como en la usabilidad, seleccionando los textos de acuerdo a los objetivos y necesidades de los lectores. Somos GUARDIANES DE HISTORIAS.

LOGO takatuka

ESPAÑA

Los libros de Takatuka se caracterizan por jugar con el humor, la fantasía y las diferentes tramas para construir relatos e imágenes que dejen en peques y jóvenes muchas sonrisas, algunas preguntas y reflexiones y, sobre todo, ganas de seguir leyendo.

En Takatuka caben todos los temas, desde vivencias o preocupaciones cotidianas propias de los más jóvenes, hasta situaciones que tienen que ver con su entorno o con el mundo que les rodea. Por eso, intentamos buscar figuras infantiles próximas a su manera de ser, con su curiosidad y rebeldía naturales y con sus contradicciones, y evitamos las figuras idealizadas o con roles ajenos a su realidad. Partiendo de la premisa de que, por lo general, no hay temas para niños y temas para adultos, sino diferentes maneras de abordarlos, queremos hacer de la lectura un momento para potenciar el gusto por un buen libro y las ganas de conocer y disfrutar del mundo en el que han de crecer como personas libres y autónomas.

En nuestro catálogo encontraréis libros en cartón, libros álbum, cómics, libros informativos y novelas para primeros lectores y lectores avanzados, dirigidos a un público infantil o juvenil.

thule Ediciones

ESPAÑA

En el siglo IV a.C. Piteo de Masalía zarpó hacia el oeste, más allá de las columnas de Heracles, para seguir la ruta del ámbar y del estaño. Su viaje lo llevó a los mares del Norte, hasta la isla de Thule, donde el mar ya no era navegable, pues se convertía en hielo. De vuelta, muy pocos historiadores y geógrafos creyeron el relato de Piteo y lo tacharon de embustero.

Sin embargo, el nombre de Thule y la idea de la última isla en el confín del mundo arraigó en el imaginario colectivo y se convirtió rápidamente en mito literario, tanto que de Thule hablaron Virgilio, Tasso, entre otros.

Thule Ediciones pretende ser también la última isla en los confines del mundo editorial. Quiere ser una editorial que explore nuevos caminos literarios, nuevos formatos y materiales de edición. Una editorial que investigue en las posibilidades que ofrece el diseño como complemento ideal para interpretar y revalorizar el texto.

En fin, una editorial que se mueva en ese espacio donde el mundo real deja lugar al mundo imaginado y fantástico.

LOGO Zorro Rojo

ESPAÑA

Desde su fundación en Barcelona en 2004, Libros del Zorro Rojo se ha consolidado como una editorial de referencia internacional en la edición de libros ilustrados para lectores de todas las edades.

Para nuestra editorial, ilustrar significa crear una obra a través de la confluencia de dos lenguajes: la literatura y las bellas artes. Palabra e imagen florecen en el terreno fértil que las vincula: el arte de editar. Obras en las que lo bello no se propone como elemento decorativo, sino como medio para el desarrollo reflexivo de los lectores. 

El zorro es un animal irreverente, audaz. Esa audacia para innovar, pero también para incomodar, resulta indispensable en nuestra forma de entender este oficio: hemos intentado romper con algunos de los tópicos más generalizados del libro-álbum al cuestionar, una y otra vez, los límites de un género vivo. Buscamos historias bien escritas, que conmuevan; personajes reveladores, temas controvertidos y propuestas gráficas originales, distintivas y de alta calidad que construyen libros capaces de abrir nuevos horizontes a nuevos lectores.

La memoria artesanal de Colombia regresa a Miami con la tercera edición de Expoartesano 2025

Tradición y saberes ancestrales que cruzan fronteras. Del 23 al 26 de octubre se abrirán las puertas de Expoartesano en el Doral Cultural Arts Center con entrada gratuita para todos los asistentes. Más de 8 maestros de oficio presentarán piezas artesanales únicas de los 32 departamentos de Colombia.

El evento, organizado por Artesanías de Colombia, Plaza Mayor Medellín y el Consulado de Colombia en Miami, espera más de 3 mil visitantes y constituye una oportunidad estratégica para fortalecer la internacionalización de productos con valor agregado y proyectar globalmente al sector artesanal colombiano con ventas superiores a 30 mil dólares.

Del 23 al 26 de octubre las piezas únicas de más de 70 artesanos de 32 departamentos de Colombia que van desde la joyería y bisutería, hasta el hogar, la moda, la decoración, los accesorios y las cocinas ancestrales estarán disponibles en esta feria que no solo exhibe y vende productos, sino que transmite la memoria y el legado de comunidades enteras que encuentran en este oficio su principal fuente de vida. 

Después de conquistar a más de 10 mil visitantes en sus dos primeras versiones en Florida, Expoartesano La Memoria regresa al Doral Cultural Arts Center para celebrar su tercera edición en Miami, gracias al trabajo conjunto entre Artesanías de Colombia, Plaza Mayor Medellín, el Consulado de Colombia en Miami, Procolombia, Ecopetrol y la Alcaldía de Medellín. Un encuentro que ya se consolida como la gran vitrina internacional de la artesanía colombiana, conectando tradición, diseño y negocios en un mismo espacio.

“Tendremos más de 14 expositores y otros tantos en venta de comida tradicional colombiana, será un espacio en donde nos encontraremos con nuestras costumbres, con nuestra identidad, con nuestro patrimonio” aseguró Marcela Cuellar, Subgerente de promoción y generación de oportunidades. Los artesanos estarán compartiendo demostraciones en vivo de oficios ancestrales como tejeduría, talla en madera, cerámica y bordado con una agenda cultural y académica que tendrá conversatorios, talleres y presentaciones artísticas.

Una actividad con potencial exportador:

Según el último informe de Exportaciones realizado por Procolombia, en 2024 las exportaciones colombianas de artesanías alcanzaron un valor de USD 21,4 millones, mientras que en lo que va corrido hasta julio de 2025, ya se han comercializado más de USD 13,8 millones, en artesanías, teniendo un crecimiento del 12% en comparación con el mismo periodo del año anterior.

Dentro de este universo de artesanías, el subsector de flores artificiales se destacó por ser el de mayor participación en las exportaciones de esta categoría con USD 17,3 millones en 2024, seguido por cerámica con USD 1,5 millones

En medio de este contexto de internacionalización artesanal, Expoartesano Miami, más que una feria, será un espacio para que los colombianos y latinos residentes en Florida se reencuentren con sus raíces, promuevan sus valores culturales y conozcan de primera mano el trabajo artesanal que se desarrolla en todo el territorio nacional. Asimismo, permitirá a los artesanos ampliar sus oportunidades de comerciales y abrirse camino en el mercado estadounidense. 

“En solo dos ediciones en Miami, Expoartesano ya ha convocado a más de 10 mil visitantes y en este 2025 esperamos superar los 3 mil asistentes, con expectativas de negocio por más de 130 mil dólares. Estas cifras confirman que la feria es una plataforma efectivade internacionalización y un espacio de negocio que fortalece la economía de los artesanos colombianos.” Afirmó María Fátima DiazGranados, Gerente comercial de Plaza Mayor Medellín.

Con entrada gratuita, Expoartesano Miami 2025, espera generar ventas por más de $30 mil dólares durante cuatro días de feria. La inauguración tendrá lugar el jueves 23 de octubre a partir de las 7:00 p.m. en el Doral Cultural Arts Center. La velada contará con presentaciones en vivo de los artesanos, quienes además realizarán sus creaciones durante todo el fin de semana hasta el 26 de octubre.

Abdo New River Room, Broward Center for the Performing Arts 

201 SW 5th Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312

Tickets $40 General Admisison, $60 VIP Ticket https://www.browardcenter.org/events/detail/pioneer-winter-collective-apollo-2025

Free workshop for adults and elders new to dance on Sunday, November 23, details below.

In the performance, Pioneer Winter is joined by dance artists Clarence Brooks, Frank Campisano, and Octavio Campos. Original composition and live performance by sound artist, Diego Melgar. 

Pioneer Winter describes Apollo as a biomythography, a style of composition that weaves myth, history, and biography in epic narrative. The work draws inspiration from Greek mythology’s Apollo (god of the sun, music, prophecy, and healing), George Balanchine’s 1928 ballet Apollo, and the cast’s lived experience. Where Balanchine’s Apollo character encountered three ageless Muses, Pioneer Winter’s Apollo encounters three queer elders, each a past iteration of Apollo himself. Together, these dancers meet, compete, and find strength in their tensions as they try to understand each other and themselves. As Apollo’s story unfolds, questions emerge: of community, queering the classics, HIV/AIDS and the Missing Generation, and the importance of legacy.

“At Pioneer Winter Collective, we strive to expand the definition of all that dance is and can be so that all bodies survive, thrive, and are witnessed. We push against the constant erasure of certain bodies, performances, and voices based upon race, body type, age, and ability,” shares PWC Artistic Director Pioneer Winter. “In Apollo we explore identity, personal story, mentorship, and rebirth. This is something queer people have always done: reshaping themselves, forging their own paths. We are honored and excited to bring this performance to Fort Lauderdale.”

Artists of the Pioneer Winter Collective will also teach a free workshop especially for adults and elders on Sunday, November 23, 10 – 11:30 am. This workshop is for folks who have not had the chance to dance before, but are curious to explore movement in a supportive space. After viewing excerpts from Apollo, participants will be guided through accessible ballet-inspired movement, choreography, and discussion to create their own “movement portraits.” No prior dance experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to try. Participants should dress comfortably in clothing they can move in. Email [email protected] for more information.

Pioneer Winter (b. 1987; he/they) is a choreographer, dancer, and artistic director based in Miami. Winter creates intergenerational, queer, and physically integrated dance-theater rooted in community, care, and social change. Their work challenges dominant notions of beauty and belonging, while expanding what dance is and who it’s for.

Winter is the founder of Pioneer Winter Collective (PWC), a platform that supports artists living at the intersection of dance, identity, and public health. Through PWC’s performances, workshops, and artist development programs, he creates space for queer, elder, disabled, and system-impacted artists to be seen as essential culture-bearers. Pioneer’s choreographic work blends movement, text, and film, with 2025 projects including Apollo and In the Belly of the Bird/Godmother. 

Winter holds an MFA in Choreography and a MPH in Epidemiology. He was named in Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch” and received awards from Creative Capital, NEFA, National Performance Network, MAP Fund, and the Mellon Foundation. Pioneer has directed and curated the ScreenDance Miami Festival since 2017, and mentors artists across the country.

Clarence Brooks (he/they), Performer

Clarence toured North America, Western Europe, Japan, and South Korea with 90 plus companies performing works by more than 130 choreographers. A former associate professor, who has lectured, choreographed, and taught in institutions across the nation, founded the Repertory Dance Theatre Ensemble which performed in curated festivals from Miami to Boston. They can be seen in the 5-part video documentary The World of Alwin Nikolais and their essay, Dancing with the Issues, was published in One Teacher in 10: LGBT Educators Share Their Stories.

Clarence currently works with the Dance Exchange, Pioneer Winter Collective, Sokolow Theatre/Dance Ensemble, danceTactics performance group, Megan Williams Dance Projects, and David Parker & The Bang Group.

Frank Campisano (he/him), Performer
Frank is originally from New Jersey, and he received his early ballet training at the New Jersey Ballet under the direction of Edward Villella and the Garden State Ballet under Constantine Casanova. Campisano later studied with Tampa Concert Ballet under Ric Brame, Nevada Dance Theatre under Vassili Sulich, the Darvash School of Ballet under Gabriela Darvash, and Broadway Dance Center under Ron Forella. Campisano has performed in Las Vegas, The Follies at The Tropicana Hotel and Casino, and with several major dance companies: Boston Ballet II, Anna Myer and Dancers, Festival Ballet Providence, and Island Moving Company, as well as Summer Stock at the Barn Theatre and Off-Broadway tours. Campisano has previously worked with Pioneer Winter Collective in the 2011 premiere of 42: A Stonewall Prospective at the Bass Museum of Art and in the 2017 premiere of Forced Entry and Other Loves Stories at the Light Box at Goldman Warehouse, and 2018 and 2019 performances of Reprise at Miami Dade County Auditorium, Spinello Projects/Brickell City Centre, and Luminaria Contemporary Arts Festival (San Antonio, Texas).

Octavio Campos (he/him), Performer
Octavio is a Cuban-American performance artist, choreographer, educator, community organizer, restorative justice circle keeper, and multidisciplinary trickster whose work defies categories and dances on the edge of possibilities, disruption and wonder. Born into a world of contrasts — Cuban, Queer, Buddhist, Positive, Rebellious — Campos’ artistic voice emerged as a force for disrupting norms and revealing the unseen. Over four decades, he has created countless works and collaborated with hundreds of artists across disciplines, forging a path where spectacle meets intimacy and activism meets art and wellness. Trained at the Martha Graham School, SUNY Purchase Conservatory of Dance, and Germany’s Folkwang Hochschule under the legacy of Pina Bausch, Campos absorbed a movement philosophy rooted in humanity, rawness, and risk. After a decade of work in Europe, he has collaborated with visionary artists including Robert Wilson, Philip Glass, Vivienne Newport, and Yoshiko Waki, leaving his mark on experimental performance, immersive theater, and politically charged rituals. Campos founded Camposition, an interdisciplinary collective in Miami dedicated to creating provocative, site-specific works confronting themes such as HIV/AIDS, religious extremism, and domestic violence. His collaborations with Juggerknaut Theatre Company have redefined audience-performer relationships through immersive, boundary-breaking productions. He is a member of the Pioneer Winter Collective, where he performs, collaborates, and facilitates Recovery in Motion, a signature program blending expressive arts, movement, and recovery principles. He is also the architect of LALA Open Studio, an artist incubator and wellness meetup that nurtures a new generation of interdisciplinary artists and expands Miami’s creative landscape. As an educator, Campos has served on the faculty of the New World School of the Arts in Miami and NIDA (National Institute of Dramatic Art) in Sydney, Australia, sharing his dynamic approach to movement, storytelling, and social engagement worldwide. Offstage, Campos is a certified mindfulness instructor, restorative justice circle keeper, somatic practitioner, and peer support worker. He also serves on the board of B. Riley, an LGBTQ+ treatment center supporting individuals in recovery and mental health resilience. Currently, Campos is Director of Human Readiness Training for PARABOLES, a project by longtime collaborator Natasha Tsakos, with whom he has worked for over 20 years. In this pioneering microgravity experiment, he prepares performers – bodies and spirits alike – to surrender to weightlessness and possibility. After a lifetime crafting works in theaters, recovery centers, city streets, and abandoned spaces, Octavio Campos now takes his mischief, rigor, and deep humanity into space – and enjoys the ride all the way.

Diego Melgar (he/they), Sound Designer & Composer
Diego is a Peruvian-born and Miami-raised, idiosyncratic guitarist reflecting the tropical melting pot he calls home. His two most recent albums, ‘Falling Forward’ and ‘Summer Memories,’ reflect the influence of Miami’s underground rave scene through a unique abstract lens coming from Melgar’s involvement in the avant garde scene. The albums ‘Noble Savage’ and ‘Mitingu’ showcase Melgar’s jazz roots, the prior featuring his American trio and the latter with his European quartet. ‘Where’d You Go’ by Butterfly Snapple, a group of which Melgar is a founding member, features him in the context of an eclectic hip-hop band. Currently, Melgar runs a concert series hosted at Floyd Miami called ‘Pachamanca,’ where artists from the several communities Melgar is a part of collaborate on new music for each concert, creating a one of a kind live musical experience. Diego has been collaborating with Pioneer Winter Collective since 2023.

Pioneer Winter Collective (PWC), established in 2016, is a physically integrated (disabled and nondisabled artists performing together) and intergenerational dance theater company that creates performances in public spaces, museums and galleries, stages, schools, and film. The work PWC creates seeks to expand the definition of all that dance is and can be, so all bodies survive, thrive, and are witnessed. https://pioneerwinter.com/

Ruth Asawa to Lead MoMA’s Largest-Ever Show by a Woman

Ruth Asawa Takes Center Stage in MoMA’s Biggest Show by a Female Artist

Member Previews, Oct 16–18
Oct 19, 2025–Feb 7, 2026
MoMA

“I’m not so interested in the expression of something. I’m more interested in what the material can do. So that’s why I keep exploring,” said artist, educator, and civic leader Ruth Asawa.

Ruth Aiko Asawa was an American modernist artist known primarily for her abstract looped-wire sculptures inspired by natural and organic forms.
Born: January 24, 1926, Norwalk, CA
Died: August 5, 2013 (age 87 years), San Francisco, CA
Wikipedia

Ruth Asawa’s art activism was deeply rooted in her belief that creativity could transform individuals and communities alike. A Japanese American artist who endured incarceration during World War II, Asawa understood firsthand the power of art as a tool for resilience and social change. Beyond her celebrated wire sculptures, she devoted much of her life to arts education and accessibility. In San Francisco, she co-founded the Alvarado Arts Workshop in the 1960s, pioneering a model that integrated professional artists into public schools to teach children the value of creative expression. Her advocacy eventually led to the establishment of the Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts, a public high school dedicated to nurturing young artists. Through her activism, Asawa championed the idea that art is not a privilege but a vital part of civic life — a belief that continues to inspire educators, artists, and communities across generations.

The exhibition “Ruth Asawa: A Retrospective” is not merely a survey of an influential artist’s work; it is a profound celebration of a life dedicated to the tireless exploration of material and form. Featuring some 300 works, this first major posthumous assessment charts the six-decade career of Ruth Asawa (artist, educator, and civic leader), whose philosophy was beautifully encapsulated in her own words: “I’m more interested in what the material can do.”

Transforming the Simple into the Sublime

Asawa’s enduring legacy rests on her ability to transform the humble and the everyday—most famously, the wire—into subjects of complex contemplation. Since her formative years studying at Black Mountain College in the late 1940s, Asawa pursued the “inexhaustible possibilities” offered by simple mediums.

The exhibition provides an expansive view of her practice, ranging from:

  • Wire Sculpture: The iconic, abstract looped-wire sculptures that seem to float in space, endlessly varying in their form and structure.
  • Two-Dimensional Works: Calligraphic ink paintings, drawings, prints, and bronze casts.
  • Public Works: Documentation of the numerous fountains, murals, and memorials she realized from the late 1960s onward.

The works continually challenge traditional art historical boundaries, unsettling distinctions between abstraction and figuration, figure and ground, and negative and positive space. Asawa didn’t just fill space; she defined it using absence and light.

Art, Life, and Community

Crucial to understanding Asawa’s work is recognizing the integrated model of art practice she cultivated. For Asawa, “there was no separation between living and making art”—she made art every day. The exhibition takes a cue from this holistic approach, offering numerous points of entry and encouraging “close looking.”

Furthermore, the retrospective underscores Asawa’s deep commitment to community. She was a tireless advocate, standing at the forefront of arts education in the Bay Area and beyond, and dedicating herself to public commissions that enriched civic life.

Organized as a partnership between the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) and The Museum of Modern Art, New York (MoMA), “Ruth Asawa: A Retrospective” is an essential showing. It reaffirms Asawa’s status not just as a sculptor, but as a visionary who saw creative potential in all acts and who used the simplest of means to reflect the complexity of existence.

From moma.org

Asawa made art every day, pursuing the inexhaustible possibilities offered by simple materials such as paper and wire since her days at Black Mountain College, where she studied in the late 1940s. Following a move to San Francisco in 1949, her practice grew exponentially as she produced a body of work ranging from endless variations of abstract looped-wire sculptures to calligraphic ink paintings.

Community was crucial to Asawa, who realized numerous public commissions—fountains, murals, and memorials—from the late 1960s onward, and stood at the forefront of arts education in the Bay Area and beyond. Taking a cue from her own work, Ruth Asawa: A Retrospective offers numerous points of entry into her art, encouraging close looking. It also reveals the model of integrated art practice cultivated by Asawa, for whom all acts held a creative potential and for whom there was no separation between living and making art.

Ruth Asawa: A Retrospective is an exhibition partnership between the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) and The Museum of Modern Art, New York (MoMA). The exhibition is organized by Cara Manes, Associate Curator, Department of Painting and Sculpture, MoMA, and Janet Bishop, Thomas Weisel Family Chief Curator, SFMOMA; with Dominika Tylcz, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Painting and Sculpture, MoMA; and Marin Sarvé-Tarr, Assistant Curator, and William Hernández Luege, former Curatorial Associate, Painting and Sculpture, SFMOMA.
