The Healing Cloth: A Symbol of Restoration and Resilience


For this project, I invited children with cancer at various stages of their treatment, from the BHIO hospital to connect with their hearts and ask for healing from the universe. They then stamped their hands with paint onto red fabric. This week, I will hang the fabric around the trees in the hospital garden.

Through our prayers, we remember how the Spirit sustains us on our journey through life. People often tie red textiles to the branches of trees as a way to send silent prayers for happiness, protection, wisdom, and humility, allowing these wishes to dissolve in the wind and touch all beings in nature. In Argentina, red textiles, such as those offered to El Gauchito Gil, are frequently left as gestures of acknowledgment and respect for the spirits of the land.

These textiles may also serve as prayers, requesting either general blessings or specific assistance from these spirits. At healing wells, red textiles are left as prayers for recovery from physical or mental afflictions. The cloth is first pressed against the affected part of the body (if the sufferer is present) and then tied to a tree. The cloth “absorbs” the illness and carries it harmlessly back to the wind and earth as it gradually weathers and disintegrates over time

Main room : Back to the Roots

The exhibition explores  themes of identity, heritage, and the powerful connection to the land and the stories that shape us. Marisa’s work serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of honoring our roots and the cultural narratives that ground us.
The exhibition presents a compelling textile installation that intertwines large garments with the evocative strength of ancient European columns symbolizing the profound connection between Marisa’s South American roots and her memories. These monumental textile pieces represent the support system for her personal world and belongings, embodying the interwoven nature of her identity.

Exhibition 2024

VIDEOAKT BIENNIAL - LIMA, PERÚ

curated by Angie Bonino 

August 2024 - November 2024


A solo project by Marisa Caichiolo at VIDEOAKT Biennal curated by Angie Bonino at MAC Museum of Contemporary Art, Lima, Perú and LUM Museum of Memory, Place of Memory and History, Lima, Perú.

Through the fusion of embroidered textiles with Braille code, objects, and video, Caichiolo has created a project that invites us to reconsider certain questions that may arise from collective memory. Delving into the unsettling legacy of forced disappearances suffered by individuals due to state terrorism in Argentina, especially during and after the harrowing era of the civic-military dictatorship known as the 'National Reorganization Process' between 1976 and 1983, this installation encourages us to rethink the tragedy by engaging other senses, such as touch in this case.

However, just as an expert reader can decipher the hidden meaning in a passage in Braille, we can also strive to illuminate the stories of the disappeared, give voice to those who do not have one, and honor the memory of those who have vanished due to the ravages of human conflict. In a world where the visible often eclipses the invisible, let us remember that true visibility does not lie in what we see at first glance, but in the depths of our empathy and our commitment to justice and memory. “In this work, the Braille code ‘There is no one more blind than he who does not want to see’ is used as a tool to remind us that even in the absence of sight, we can still find a way to see, connect, and testify to the invisible truths that lie beneath the surface of our collective history.” — Marisa Caichiolo.

First Room : How else can I Serve you ?

"In the heart of the First Room is an art installation with the artist pieces from the series How Else Can I Serve You? They emerged as a captivating reflection on social divisions, violence, patriarchy and the fragility of class differences. Nestled within a grand exhibition space, the installation is inviting visitors to embark on a thought-provoking journey.As viewers entered the room, their gaze was immediately drawn to the two tables positioned opposite each other. 

 The juxtaposition was a poignant reminder of the vast disparities that exist within society.

Second Room : Sacred Seed

Main film Performance  by Rachel Loba Robles. 
The idea of involving women from different corners of this planet and offering seeds as symbols of femininity, abundance, and healing is intended to give them a voice.
“These performances are very significant to me and are closely related to my family history. My ancestors were Italian farmers who, fleeing the horrors of World War II, settled in Argentina and relied on farming as a means of survival, which continues to be the main source of income for my extended family to this day."
