Carla Hayes Mayoral participates in Tejiendo historias at MUCAC Málaga

We are pleased to share that artist Carla Hayes Mayoral is currently participating in the group exhibition Tejiendo historias at MUCAC Málaga.

The exhibition, curated by Alicia Ventura, brings together a selection of contemporary artists whose practices engage with textile as both material and conceptual language, exploring its capacity to weave together memory, identity, and historical narratives. Within this context, Hayes contributes works that extend her ongoing research into textile practices as sites of resistance and critical reflection.

Working across fiber, installation, and mixed media, Hayes approaches weaving from a decolonial and feminist perspective, challenging the hierarchies historically imposed by Western art history and reactivating textile as a powerful medium for storytelling and political expression. 

Her broader practice is deeply rooted in the re-reading of historical imagery and the construction of alternative narratives, often addressing colonial legacies, the representation of the body, and the intersection between personal and collective memory. Through materials such as rafia, embroidery, and ceramics, she constructs works that move between the intimate and the structural, the ancestral and the contemporary. 

Hayes’ participation in Tejiendo historias further consolidates her position within a generation of artists rethinking textile practices as a critical tool within contemporary art discourse.
