Organized by MFIT's senior curator of education and public programs, Tanya Meléndez-Escalante, the exhibition celebrates how the designers' identities inform their creative vision. The works of Chavarría and Sánchez-Kane are imbued with desire—libidinal, sensual desire, but also a desire for belonging, for resistance, and for visibility. The exhibition will be organized thematically, bringing together works by both designers that reveal shared aesthetics and ideas. With fluid boundaries and bilingual texts, these sections will allude to the binational origins of the creators.
