Event Summary
Margarita Cabrera: Space in Between + CARE
Artist Margarita Cabrera collaborates with local communities to encourage conversations about migration, labor, border politics, food justice, and other social issues. At the Fine Arts Center, Cabrera presents two ongoing projects that connect our local communities to broader social issues.
The Space in Between (2010–ongoing) are soft sculptures of plants native to the Southwest region, including cacti, aloe vera, and agave, made from fabric sourced from US Border Patrol uniforms. Cabrera will lead workshops with members of the local Colorado Springs community who have personal or family connection with immigration to construct and embroider the plants. The embroidery—in a style inspired in part by Indigenous Mexican folk art and craft traditions—includes phrases and symbols that hold significance for the participants. The exhibition features the newly commissioned sculptures, created during the workshop in Colorado Springs, adding local and personal experiences to the presentation.
In the adjacent gallery, Cabrera’s CARE (2021–ongoing) builds on Cabrera’s recent collaboration with Ollin Farms to explore food sustainability, justice, and access in Colorado. The installation includes a series of ceramic spoons and will culminate in a feast performance in November 2025.
