No se toca, de Cesarina Femminis

No se toca (Do Not Touch) brings together a series of textile works born from research into Afro hair as a space of memory, identity and cultural heritage. Drawing on autobiographical experiences and conversations with other Afro-descendant people, the project understands hair as a living archive in which family stories, care rituals, processes of acceptance and shared experiences within the diaspora intertwine. Through tufting, embroidery and experimentation with textile fibres, each piece translates these accounts into material language, exploring how texture can become a way of narrating what often remains invisible. Hair becomes here a starting point for speaking about everything we inherit, care for and pass on, even when there are no words to name it.
