Laboratorio textil fundado por Carla Qua en Ciudad de México en 2019. Trabaja sobre mezclilla — siluetas fijas, tratamiento variable. El slack, el haori, la jacket, el worksuit, el overol son las mismas siluetas desde nuestro origen — y las seguimos perfeccionando. Si solo vas a producir un tipo de indumentaria, más vale que sea la mejor versión posible.
Lo que cambia con cada serie es lo que ocurre sobre la fibra: el tinte, el bordado, el tiempo que cada proceso requiere.
El respeto por las técnicas no es obediencia ciega. Es necesario dominarlas para poder subvertirlas conscientemente. El laboratorio es el espacio donde conviven la curiosidad y la reverencia. El experimento mantiene vivo el proceso.
Buscamos materializar el sincretismo: la coexistencia tensa e irresuelta de lo prehispánico, lo religioso, lo migrante, lo popular. Esa densidad no se resuelve — pero está presente.
Nada de lo anterior ocurre solo. Las bordadoras de Temoaya y Tenancingo, los sastres del taller — no ejecutan ideas, las co-crean. El conocimiento vive en las manos. Apurar un proceso es violentarlo: los materiales y las personas tienen sus propios ritmos, y respetarlos es la condición para que el trabajo ocurra.
