The Museum of Arts and Design presents the first American museum group exhibition dedicated to contemporary Latin contemporary design and its confluence with art and traditional crafts in Latin AmericaFeaturing more than 75 designers, artists, craftspersons, and collectives, New Territories: Laboratories for Design, Craft and Art in Latin America surveys the innovative, cross-disciplinary collaborations and new directions in creative production that have been occurring throughout Latin America since 2000.The Chilean-born, Los Angeles–based artist Guillermo Bert has been working on a series of tapestries encoded with computer symbols and prompts in collaboration with members of the Mapuche community of southern Chile.

The resulting imagery is developed into a prototype that Bert created with Mapuche weaver Anita Pailamil, and the tapestry is then woven by the Chol-Chol Weavers Cooperative.
