Lexicon of vanishing words will be part of A rope being woven, a new exhibition within the 2026 annual programme of Mapamundistas.
The exhibition focuses on the concept of generation proposed by anthropologist Tim Ingold. Ingold uses the image of a rope as a metaphor for coexistence between generations: each person, each generation, contributes their own thread, their own making, to a common rope that is always in the process of being woven. This image stands in contrast to the metaphor of a stack, in which each new generation replaces the previous one in an ongoing succession.

One of the most interesting visits we received in the old Angurreta quarry was by geologist Laura Damas, who gave us a masterclass in identifying the fossils trapped inside the blocks of marble that we have been working on. We learned all about rudists, extinct bivalve molluscs from the Cretaceous period, and how to recognise their forms in the red marble that lines the hallways of Bilbao appartments.

The summer of 2026 was all about working in an old marble quarry in the Basque Country. We had been invited three years ago by Victor Arrizabalaga to develop a proposal for Angurreta Harrobia Arte Espazioa in Mañaria. We had never worked with stone before, so this was also a period of learning and improvising with new skills.

Lend Me Your Ears is an exhibition about how memories and stories connect people, across generations and through time. Six artists reflect on the transience of our existence and the fragile yet powerful role of memory. What do we pass on? And what continuity do we want to be a part of?
