Until next April 12, Fundación Casa de México in Spain celebrates for the fifth consecutive year the arrival of spring with a facade intervention carried out by the collective of women weavers Cielo Tejido, transforming the façade into a large urban building.
The public will be able to enjoy this celebration for free with a program of activities that include workshops on crochet, textile printing and floral art, among others.
Welcome to the spring 2026 turns the facade into a living bridge between tradition and contemporaneity through a community work of high visual and social impact. Suspended on the exterior of the building and extended inward, the work displays a monumental fabric of floral motifs that evokes the symbolic force of the season: rebirth, color, abundance and community. Each flower, each canvas and each strand are part of a collective creation made by hundreds of hands, whose ancestral skill dialect here with the architectural landscape of Madrid.
The project was carried out with more than 230,000 linear meters of fiber material, which form seven panels of hexagons forming seven-colored flowers, woven in the technique of crochet by 200 Mexican artisans from Etzatlán, Jalisco. For the project, the collective has worked for three months, giving shape and color to the facade.
Cielo Tejido is a collective that brings together more than 200 weavers from Etzatlán, Jalisco, known for their impressive woven skies. In 2019, this collective obtained a Guinness Record by weaving a 2,850 square meter pavilion that covered four streets of the town center. What began in 2014, when Lorena Ron and her mother, Concepción Siordia, decorated a street for the patron saint’s festivities, has become an annual tradition that unites the entire community.
