Guardian Spirit Series: Weaving Mixed Identities Artist Talk and Exhibit

October 5-October 31

Join Orquidia Violeta for an exhibition of her journey, intricately woven between two rich cultures.

As a Salvadoran-American textile artist, Orquidia Violeta’s journey weaves between two vibrant cultures, creating a tapestry of experiences that shape her identity. The Guardian Spirit Series is more than just a collection of textile art, it’s a narrative of belonging that serves as a bridge between the threads of her two worlds. Her work transcends national boundaries, offering a universal narrative that speaks to anyone who has ever felt the pull of multiple cultures shaping their sense of self, and inviting people from diverse backgrounds to explore their own complex identities and find solace in the shared human experience of transformation and growth.

Orquidia will be giving an artist talk on October 5th from 6:00pm – 7:30pm.
The Guardian Spirit Series exhibit is brought to you by the Hispanic Heritage Art Show.

Support Our Community Programs

In just over 4 years, Portland TextileX Month (PTXM) has turned from an ambitious idea into an engaged community movement. This transformation highlights the power of our mission to foster collaboration, cross-pollination, cultural dialogue, and intergenerational exchange among the Portland textile community and beyond.

This year we’ve organized the PTXM festival with over 40 events and directly sponsored a multitude of FREE programs including exhibits, workshops, artist talks, community events, and more—representing a diverse range of textile interests and practices. This year’s PTXM Regeneration Festival has brought together makers, businesses, teachers, students, institutions, and organizations to gather around shared interests and knowledge-sharing. PTXM would not have been possible without the dedication of event organizers, paid contributors, paid interns, amazing volunteers and the receptiveness of the textile community.

We hope to continue building PTXM and TextileX website as sustainable resources that serve the textile community for years to come, and that’s where you come in.

If you feel a connection to the PTXM mission and what we can accomplish together, please consider making a direct contribution programming. As a direct contributor, your funds will go directly toward programming, lean administrative expenses, and providing paid internships. We appreciate any contribution you can make and your continued support.
