Curatorial context
Intersecciones is a special project presented within the permanent exhibition of the Museo del Traje, designed as part of the institution's centenary commemoration. This initiative pays tribute to the 1925 Exposición del Traje Regional, a pivotal event that laid the foundation for the museum's collections. The exhibition features contemporary interventions by artisans and fashion designers, highlighting their preservation of ancestral processes, materials, and techniques in the creation of unique pieces.
The first phase showcases the work of four artisans: Aitor Saraiba's 'Pagana,' inspired by Iberian beliefs and traditions; Sagarminaga Atelier's reinterpretation of an 18th-century coat fused with nature's reclamation; Mercedes Vicente's focus on the bodi as an enhancer of curves; and Woolf4life's exploration of sustainable wool processing and traditional techniques.
The second phase, running from June 10 to November 30, 2025, features three fashion designers. Lorenzo Caprile presents an 18th-century dollhouse from his antique collection; Teresa Helbig places porcelain at the center, symbolizing the timelessness and craftsmanship akin to haute couture; and Ana Locking offers three stage costume creations inspired by, and freely reinterpreting, the 18th-century styles found in the 'Exposición del Traje Regional.' Through these dialogues, Intersecciones seeks to rewrite the narrative of clothing, reaffirming the museum's commitment to preserving and reinterpreting cultural heritage and opening new perspectives on fashion, identity, and collective memory.
