A Conversation with Designers Giorgia Lupi, Inti Valez, and Daniel Mancini about their Twist Out Cancer Exhibits at the WDNR Museum

Stories of Hope and Inspiration from Twist Out Cancer's Brushes With Cancer Program

Artist Giorgia Lupi, from Pentagram Design, and Daniel Mancini and Inti Valez Bolero, from Wanda Barcelona, reflect on their art installations "Brushes With Cancer" and "Woven Wonders" which they designed in collaboration with Twist Out Cancer. They discuss how they got involved with the organization, the work that they created together, and what they will be taking from the experience. Both exhibits were on view at the WNDR Museum in Chicago in October and November 2022.
The “Brushes with Cancer” exhibit from Pentagram is a work of 278 interwoven brushstrokes, representing the moments or collaborations between Twist Out Cancer’s Inspirations and Artists, as they came together to change each other’s lives.
"Woven Wonders" is a larger-than-life exhibit made by Wanda Barcelona that was handmade by 12 artisans in Barcelona, weaving small strands of paper together to show how we are all interconnected and how, when cancer affects one of us, it affects us all. There are 500 variations of weaving designs in this piece.
