At The CAMP Gallery in North Miami, “Under the Red Tent” unfolds as more than an exhibition. It is an environment shaped by collaboration, storytelling, and the tactile language of fiber. Presented by Red Thread Art Studio Miami, the show brings together more than 20 women artists who use textile practices to explore connection, identity, and shared experience.
On view from Sunday, March 8 through Saturday, April 25, the exhibition opened on International Women’s Day, setting the tone for a project grounded in collective presence and intergenerational exchange. Rather than functioning as a static display, “Under the Red Tent” operates as an evolving space that invites visitors to move through it not just as viewers but as participants.
The transformation of the gallery is immediate. The neutrality of the white cube gives way to an immersive installation dominated by shades of red—threads suspended from the ceiling, woven into sculptural forms, draped across surfaces, and layered into dense, tactile compositions. The color is both unifying and symbolic, carrying associations of blood, labor, protection, and vitality. It envelops the space, creating an atmosphere that feels at once intimate and expansive.
Fiber, in this context, becomes more than a medium. It operates as a connective system. The threads link works across the gallery, forming visual and conceptual relationships between artists. Individual practices remain distinct, yet contribute to a larger, collective framework that emphasizes interdependence over singular authorship.
Founded by fiber artist Aurora Molina, Red Thread Art Studio Miami has built a practice centered on collaboration and community engagement. That ethos is fully realized here. Artists including Aida Tejada, Angela Bolaños, Anna Biondo, Bella Cardim, Cynthia Passavanti, Debora Rosental, Eva Llarena, Fernanda Froes, Flavia Fortuna, Flor Godward, Juliana Torres, Katia Bandeira de Mello, Marine Fonteyne, Mila Hajjar, Mirele Volkart, Paola Mondolfi, Robertha Blatt, Sarah Laing, and Susanne Schirato contribute to an exhibition that resists hierarchy. Instead of discrete presentations, the works exist in dialogue with one another, forming a cohesive, shared environment.
The exhibition takes its title from the novel “The Red Tent” by Anita Diamant, in which a communal space serves as a site for women to gather, share knowledge, and pass down stories. That conceptual framework is translated here into spatial experience. The gallery becomes a contemporary sanctuary, where narrative and material intersect.
