Breaking news: Sutura, a new binational arts event, will take place across El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico, from November 18 to 22.⁠
⁠
Founded and led by curator and artist Edgar Picazo Merino, Sutura brings together 100+ artists and 20+ cultural organizations through exhibitions, performances, concerts, and independent projects on both sides of the border.⁠
⁠
In our first look at the just-announced event, Jordan Eddy interviews Picazo Merino about how Sutura (“suture” in Spanish) aims to rethink familiar ideas about borderlands identity and art. “If the border is a wound, then what’s the next step? You repair a wound, or you try to mend it,” he says, referencing an oft-quoted concept by Chicana scholar Gloria Anzaldúa.⁠
