Tramando
Taller Puertorriqueño’s Textile Design Workshop
Tramando is a workshop series dedicated to empowering individuals and diaspora communities through collective art-making and cultural preservation. Our aim is to foster agency and sustainable economic practices while celebrating the rich tapestry of Puerto Rican and Latino culture.
We provide 12-week workshops, each centered on natural dyeing, weaving, or traditional mundillo lace-making. Each workshop features a dedicated curriculum tailored to the specific craft, led by experienced artists. Open to all skill levels, these workshops delve into both technique and the cultural importance of textile design.

Los Dueños de Nada (The Owners of Nothing) a solo exhibition of Alexis Duque’s new paintings and works on paper that interweaves personal history with broader socio-political themes. Duque is a Colombian artist based in New York City. In his new work, Duques uses figurative representational techniques to bring into relief the lives of those impacted by migration, class, and ethnic distinctions and who may otherwise be seen as residing on the periphery of society.
