Textile Cartographies
Accompanied by the artist and mediator Tau Luna Acosta, with the participation of 30 students of BAU and the Massana School, this project brings together art, anthropology and activism.
In the framework of the exhibition Amazonias. The Ancestral Future , the Textile Cartographies project uses textile art to investigate the cultural and symbolic elements that shape representation of the territory. It also takes cartography as a tool for the construction of identities and a vehicle to explore the relationship between defence, care and representation of the territory.
The programme includes workshops, public talks and collective work sessions. In an initial embroidery workshop with Olinda Silvano and Cordelia Sánchez, artists and activators of the Shipibo-Conibo peoples’ Kené art, traditional techniques will be linked with contemporary concepts of cartography and cosmogony. Participants will also be able to attend the talk by environmental defenders Patricia Gualinga and Eliane Brum, and visit the Indigenous Cartography. Decolonizing mind and space exhibition at Casa Amèrica with Renato Gavazzi. The project will close with an exhibition of the textiles created in the mediation space at the CCCB in February 2025.
