NEW YORK CITY, August 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Enduring multidisciplinary artist Isabel Varela will host her second solo art exhibition, Clothes: mindful and repurposedfrom August 11 – September 23, exposing audiences to the dangers of waste in the fashion industry and how her personal experiences helped shape her position as a passionate environmental activist. Varela has partnered on this event with ChaShaMa, an organization that helps create a more diverse and inclusive world for community-based artists.
Clothes: Minded and Repurposed is a follow-up to Varela’s debut solo exhibition, Clothes: With a mind, which was shown in 2018 at Caelum Gallery in NYC. The event featured Varela’s work alongside like-minded sustainable artists, working together to showcase the reality of trashy fashion and what we as a community can do to help make things better. Clothes: Minded and Repurposed will build on her 2018 concept, highlighting the abuses of the fashion industry and sharing a range of initiatives people can take to show their support. The exhibit will feature mixed media pieces focused on these concepts, including: three 10-foot sculptures, one 10-foot x 10-foot sculpture, three 60 x 60 inch mixed media works, and three 40 x 40 inch mixed media paintings 40 inches.
Varela’s main inspiration for the exhibition is her personal experience. She uses this space and opportunity to turn her pain, shame, and guilt into a powerful teaching tool for others to help them transform and heal—which, in turn, heals our planet. .
