An exhibit inspired by stories that relate back to Cuban culture by Dianee Da’ Lama

Inspired by stories that relate back to Cuban culture, Dianee Da’ Lama visually expresses Cuban narratives within two quilt installations to be featured in this exhibition in conjunction with her 2021 Textile Hive residency.

Cuban-American artist Dianee Da’ Lama, explores culture, memory, and family through her experience as a young Hispanic woman, translating them through the use of textiles. By reclaiming fiber arts with its connotation of “women’s craft”, Da’ Lama is able to express the frustration of living within the machismo culture perpetuated in Latin American society. Da’ Lama explores storytelling in her work by combining the surreal aspects of Caribbean culture with childhood stories of ancestors passed down from generation to generation.

The viewing hours are 11 a.m.-6 p.m., Tuesday-Sunday.

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.
