At booth 343, MASSIMODECARLO presents two focused pairings across generations and geographies: Alvaro Barrington alongside Alighiero Boetti, and Ludovic Nkoth in dialogue with Dominique Fung.

Two artists whose practices, separated by decades and continents, are united by thread, and by the hands of women who worked with it. For Barrington, it was inheritance - the yarn traditions carried by the women of his Caribbean family, sewing as memory, as care. For Boetti, it was encounter - the discovery, on his first visit to Kabul in 1971, of a living embroidery tradition practised by Afghan craftswomen, whose skill and chromatic intuition he would spend two decades in dialogue with.

Both artists know what it means to carry more than one history at once - to exist between cultures, between narratives, between the story that was told and the one that wasn't. Together they make a case that displacement is not a condition to be overcome but a lens - one that produces a rare clarity about history, identity and what it means to belong.
