On October 2, in cooperation with the IDB’s ArtLAC Gallery, the exhibition Unseen Threads: Weaving Connections Across Latin American and Caribbean Art (Argentina) was inaugurated. The show features 16 works by internationally renowned Argentine artists from the Inter-American Development Bank’s (IDB) permanent collection.

Among the exhibited works are pieces by Rogelio Polesello, Carlos Alonso, Cristina Santander, Benito Quinquela Martín, Ana Eckell, Eduardo Stupía, and Antonio Seguí, among others. The exhibition brings together a variety of techniques and styles and will remain open until January 30, during which time guided tours will be offered by curators Julieta Maroni and Mariana Mejía.

The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) opened Unseen Threads: Weaving Connections Across Latin American and Caribbean Art on September 4 at its headquarters in Washington, D.C., with the aim of establishing satellite exhibitions at the embassies of Argentina, Chile, Mexico, and Uruguay. The goal is to highlight the aesthetic and cultural connections among artists from Latin America and the Caribbean who are part of the IDB’s permanent art collection.

The exhibition brings together a wide variety of works that emphasize shared experiences of exchange, materials exploration, and a deep connection with nature in the artists’ trajectories. It features renowned Latin American and Caribbean artists such as Olga de Amaral, Gracia Barrios, Fanny Sanín, and Mercedes Pardo, as well as a specially commissioned piece by Argentine artist Carolina Carubín, created live at the IDB gallery during an event titled "Artist in Action." The exhibition invites viewers to explore the IDB’s permanent collection and discover new ways of engaging with modern and contemporary art from the region.

In addition to the main venue at the IDB’s ArtLAC Gallery, Unseen Threads..., as a multi-site exhibition, also opened satellite shows at the embassies of Argentina, Chile, Mexico, and Uruguay in Washington, D.C., creating a collaborative platform to showcase and amplify the artistic heritage of Latin America and the Caribbean.

The exhibition also includes a digital initiative developed in collaboration with the IDB’s TechLab, expanding its reach into interactive and virtual spaces through generative technologies. This aspect of the project simulates intuitive connections among Latin American and Caribbean artists, producing visualizations that imagine how their artistic gestures might have influenced one another.
