The exhibition features works by Alicia Paz, Ana Benavides, Andrea Segura, Paola Estrella, Regina Torres, and Rita Fern\u00e1ndez, transforming Ixchel\u2019s lower-ground-floor space into a living gallery until the 30th of November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exhibition takes its name and inspiration from Ixchel, the Maya goddess after whom the restaurant is named. A deity of many faces and associations, Ixchel is closely connected with weaving \u2013 the art of bringing individual threads together to create a single, interconnected piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Interwoven<\/em> takes this idea as its starting point, bringing together distinct artists, practices and perspectives and weaving them into one collective exhibition. Displayed within the convivial surroundings of Ixchel rather than a traditional gallery, the works become part of a space already designed around gathering, conversation and contemporary Mexican culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside the featured artists, <em>Interwoven<\/em> welcomes Casa Agape, a Latin American talent house representing the region\u2019s creative voices. Textile works by Caralarga and Onora are woven throughout the exhibition, adding another dimension to its exploration of material, craft and Mexican identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All works featured in <em>Interwoven<\/em> are available to purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Interwoven<\/em> is curated by Valeria Nikitina in collaboration with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ixchellondon.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ixchel<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.condesagin.com\/en\/home\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Condesa Gin<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.art-circles.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Art Circles<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Interwoven at Ixchel<br>16 September \u2013 30 November 2026<br>Ixchel, 33 King\u2019s Road, London SW3 4LX<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This September, Ixchel, the modern Mexican restaurant and tequila bar on the King\u2019s Road, unveiled Interwoven, a new exhibition celebrating contemporary Mexican female artists, staged as part of the second Chelsea Arts Festival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":68837,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"type_post":[184],"column":[],"class_list":["post-68836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/londoncult.co.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68836","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/londoncult.co.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/londoncult.co.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/londoncult.co.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/londoncult.co.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68836"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/londoncult.co.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68836\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":68838,"href":"https:\/\/londoncult.co.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68836\/revisions\/68838"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/londoncult.co.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68837"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/londoncult.co.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/londoncult.co.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68836"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/londoncult.co.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68836"},{"taxonomy":"type_post","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/londoncult.co.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/type_post?post=68836"},{"taxonomy":"column","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/londoncult.co.uk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/column?post=68836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
