“A stew, a slowly cooked dish, serves as a metaphor for dedication to the homemade and the collective. It is a gathering of distinct ingredients, each carrying its own texture, history, and flavor, and through sustained proximity, they transform one another.“- Romina Schulz + AIR 17

The exhibition now lives on in TAC’s archives, and can be found on the website. Congratulations to AIR17 on the conclusion of a beautiful cycle🩵

“This commitment to sit with the low fire and tend to the mixture is a practice of care, whether it is for the domestic labor itself, or for the soil that provides the components, or for the community fed by the stew. Let it cook gently, and everything will become tender.” — Romina Schultz & AIR 17

The artist shares,

“I have a new photo of what it looks like outside my grandma’s window [in Tenerife]. Next to an old photo that my mom took and [comparing the two] shows how the landscape has changed. I like the act of collaging the past and the present.”

Artist Programs Director and AIR Alumni, Romina Schulz (aka Romina Chuls) Romina Chuls , is opening her first solo show in New York City, “La Cosecha”September 9th at A.I.R. Gallery A.I.R.

Romina participated in the A.I.R. Gallery Fellowship Program for Emerging and Underrepresented Women and Non-Binary Artists, a year-long program that culminates in a solo exhibition.

La Cosecha (The Harvest) will be on view from September 5th until October 4th, with an opening reception on September 9th, 6pm - 8pm. We are delighted to celebrate this significant milestone in Romina’s artistic practice and invite all to join for this exhibition.

“La Cosecha is a playful interpretation of the iconography of a Nasca textile dated 100-300 C.E., found in the Peruvian coastal desert and currently located in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum. The textile portrays Nasca agriculture; a knitted procession celebrating the harvest decorates its border. Resembling a placenta, the Nasca mantle was found wrapped around a co**se placed in fetal position, perhaps impregnated with the seeds for future plants. It’s an ode to fertility, to the interconnection of birth and death.” - Romina Chuls

La Cosecha
at A.I.R. Gallery: 155 Plymouth St, Brooklyn, NY 11201
on view: Sept 5 - Oct 4, 2026
Opening reception: Wednesday, September 9 from 6–8pm
Gallery hours: Wed-Sun 12- 6pm

AIR 17 Feature: Vic Liu Vic Liu

Romina Schulz Romina Chuls , Artist Programs Director at TAC, spent time with AIR 17 resident Vic Liu before their AIR’s final show:

Vic Liu shares about the time intensive nature of their practice, and the relationship between textiles, cross cultural storytelling, class and labor.

Vic Liu shares, “Textiles traverse class. Textiles tell our stories in very tangible ways. They can be utilitarian, they can be decorative, but no matter what, they’ll tell you a lot about the people who made it, the culture that it’s made in, the resources available, and what each culture prioritizes or values.”

“My project honors and celebrates the dignity and power of the working class by applying something that is associated with nobility, the rank badge, a piece of luxurious embroidery that indicated the rank of different nobility in the Qing Dynasty, to the classic plastic kitchen stool, something that is emblematic of the working class and can be found in kitchens across most of Chinese American and other cultures.”
- Vic Liu
