Somewhere In Between: Weaving a Future, will feature a selection of new works that build on Omar Chasan's signature style of freehand, intuitive weaving. Heirloom will present Omar's work in context with antique and vintage pieces from our collection

Omar Châvez Santiago (a.k.a. Omar Chasan, b.1993) is a fourth- generation weaver from Teotitlán del Valle, Oaxaca, whose work bridges ancestral weaving traditions with contemporary design. In 2011 he established his studio, OCS - Limited Handwoven Pieces and Objects, as a space for research and experimentation with natural dyes, fibers, and unconventional forms. Chasan's pieces often transcend the rectangle, embracing organic shapes and intuitive processes that reflect his daily life, surroundings, and heritage.

Contemporary @ Heirloom spotlights fiber and textile artists highlighting their process, unique themes, and the ways in which traditional techniques are celebrated and pushed forward.
