Constanza Camila Kramer Garfias uses textiles to test and reimagine images and history.
Her practice explores the historical, technological, and political dimensions of weaving,
asking how knowledge, images, and power take material form. Working from a diasporic
Chilean background, she creates images by hand and machine. The loom becomes a site
of tension and possibility, where weaving acts as a form of critical writing—open-ended
and process-driven. Jacquard weaving anchors her work in disrupted visual codes, and
experimental textile formations that challenge linear narratives and fixed ways of seeing.
She holds an M.A. in Conceptual Textiles from Burg Giebichenstein University of Art.
Kramer Garfias has achieved international recognition, exhibiting at ART BASEL Miami
Beach, the Arts and Design Museum Toyama (JP), the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich, and
in Paris and New York
