Tejiendo Calle II / Weaving streets II

This important work was born from a chance encounter between Ruby Rumié and Dominga Torres Tehran.  Dominga, a woman who for more than 45 years has walked the city streets selling fish, caught the attention of the artist for her unique and natural beauty. Unnoticed until that moment, she completely captivated Rumié.
Weaving Streets is an attempt to rescue, from oblivion and invisibility, women like Dominga who have spent valuable years of their lives as ambulant street vendors, permanently wandering the neighborhoods of the city.
«Weaving Street» was a phrase used by grandmothers to describe those who walked the streets of the city often, and therefore, became the title of this project.
