Linda Lucía Callejas Desnuda ((install))

The gallery was the life’s work of its namesake, Linda Lucía Callejas, a woman whose own biography was stitched from contradictions. Born in Medellín during the violent upheaval of the 1980s, she had learned to sew from her grandmother, a woman who mended the clothes of the disappeared, stitching their names into the linings as a form of silent prayer. Linda Lucía had fled the city as a teenager, carrying only a sewing box and a single photograph of her mother in a white guayabera . She arrived in Bogotá with nothing but a needle, a thread, and an unshakable belief: Clothing is the second skin we choose. Choose it wisely.
