During London Gallery Weekend 2026, Cecilia Brunson Projects will present a solo exhibition by Puerto Rican artist José Jun Martínez, alongside a focused viewing room presentation of new textile works by Claudia Alarcón & Silät and Cheong See Min.

While untethered from any single point, his works remain grounded in a powerful sense of emotion and liberation.
