Through artworks from the ESCALA Collection, Unravelling Threads explores issues related to textile production by the indigenous people of the Andean region of South America.

The selection, from the ESCALA Collection, focuses on the works of thirteen printmakers, including Oswaldo Goeldi, Lívio Abramo, Antonio Henrique Amaral, Olga Blinder, Nemesio Antúnez and other key practitioners from the 1950s, 60s and 70s. 

The University of Essex Collection of Latin American Art is pleased to be a part of Beyond the Frame, a Museums in Essex project and partially funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, that focuses on artworks on paper in Essex museums.

This exhibition represents a selection of works on paper by Alex Gama created between 1983 and 2002.

2010 marks the anniversary of the commencement of two major events in Mexican history. The first, the Mexican War of Independence, lasted from 1810 to 1821. The second is the Mexican Revolution, which lasted from 1910 to 1920. To mark this significant year, UECLAA displayed 10 prints on the Mexican Revolution until 28 January 2010. 

Mexican artist Florencia Guillen has been invited to be our artist in residence, developing two projects on campus connected by sound. Drawing upon her travels across countries and continents, Guillen's work reflects on her encounters with everyday people and situations as well as her own internal journeys.
