Angie Paniagua was born in Tandil and has lived for years in La Plata, where she studied Visual Arts at UNLP. Today, she combines teaching with her artistic practice. Her work stems from the intimate: family photographs, shared diaries, sewing objects. Through drawing, embroidery, and collage, she transforms these materials into a visual language that speaks of childhood, motherhood, and the bonds that sustain us.
Textiles occupy a central place in her practice. In the series Alfileteros she turned personal memories into embroidered pieces that, in turn, gave rise to a “symbolic sewing kit”: an exchange of sewing objects with other people who also recognize in thread and needle a form of resistance and affective transmission. In her hands, sewing ceases to be merely a domestic gesture and becomes reflection, care, and collective memory.
Angie has participated in exhibitions and collective projects in La Plata and Buenos Aires, such as Marea Verde at Galpón de las Artes (2018), FestiIgualarte (2019), Barbijos Intervenidos organized by CAAT (2020), Feria Reversa at Olga Vázquez (2022), and Manifiesto Vol. III – Bizarro at Casa Trama (2023). She has also taken part in urban and community-based experiences such as Verderazo (2020) and Radio en la vereda during the Noche de los Lápices (2021).
Her practice, traversed by memory and the everyday, finds in the combination of drawing, textiles, and collage a space to re-signify the personal and connect it with the collective.
