Personal art exhibition of Not Common Girls art collective at Alliance Française. Panama

Excerpt :

This exhibition, grounded in a decolonial approach, underscores the deep connection between the indigenous peoples of the Americas and nature. Its title alludes to ecological concerns and evokes ancestral rain invocation rituals practiced during times of drought. Throughout this solo exhibition, the art collective Not Common Girls engaged in a formal and symbolic exploration of socio-ecological relationships. The collective juxtaposed industrial materials, such as steel and nylon, with eco-conscious alternatives like hemp threads and 80 plastic bottles recycled into thread, used in the central installation “Rain,” created in collaboration with Clandestino Plastic Lab. This thoughtful combination of materials reflects the collective’s commitment to addressing ecological issues through an intersectional lens, blending sustainability with cultural and symbolic meaning.
