# Cecilia Vicuña: *Living Threads* Oct 7, 2026 – Feb 14, 2027 · on view, just opened · Galleries 1, 2 and 3 Six decades of Cecilia Vicuña’s textile, painting, photography, installation and film, including the large wool Quipu Menstrual. The first major UK exhibition of the Chilean artist and poet follows her from the 1960s to now, with works that blur art, poetry, performance and activism. Quipu Menstrual, a dense hanging installation of unspun red and brown wool, sits alongside the one surviving precario from her London years and documentation of 400 lost ones. London-period paintings, Palabrarmas works and records of public performances are also shown, along with a display on Artists for Democracy, the group she co-founded in 1974, with previously unseen documents and photographs.
