Manuk Galeria
Fabrica La Aurora
August 2016

Artist Lourdes Rivera first opened the doors to her gallery, Manuk Galeria in August 2016 in the prestigious Fabrica La Aurora, the Cultural Center of Art and Design, one of the main attractions in the city of San Miguel de Allende.

Rivera had seen the work van de Wiel was designing and invited her to be part of her first group show in August. For months, van de Wiel has been collaborating with several master weavers adapting her paintings to be integrated across 100% ethically sourced wool pieces. Lighting design was also a keen interest for her. It was a celebratory festive opening, and the group show was up for two months with van de Wiel’s pieces featured in a prominent corner along with Black Line Crazy 4x5ft paintings.
