Summer Solstice, 2025 @ Expressiones About the Artist Indira Urrutia is a Chilean-born multidisciplinary artist whose work explores grief, migration, and memory through labor-intensive processes and repurposed materials. Her unique practice of knitting with cassette tapes transforms recorded messages from her immigrant parents into woven artifacts of connection and loss, directly inspiring the knitted tears in this solstice ritual. With a background in community engagement and public interventions, Indira reclaims slow, repetitive labor as an act of resistance and healing, inviting participants to share in moments of stillness and collective reflection.
