Among this year’s most imaginative exhibitions, Gabriela Noelle presents Las Bandidas at Private Gallery, the curatorial extension of the Museum of Graffiti. Known for merging art, design, and play, Noelle introduces characters from her Imaginary Friends universe—mischievous heroines who mend and heal through acts of creativity and care.

The show features lucite sculptures, hand-dyed textiles, and bark-paper works inspired by Mayan documentation traditions. Interactive spaces like The Frame Shop (Art Week Edition) and La Bodeguita invite visitors to collect, frame, and play within the installation.

“Gabriela has been breaking the status quo by making elite fine art cute,” said co-curator Allison Freidin. “She was doing this long before this year’s Labubu craze.”
