Room V: Tarabuco Textiles 

Next Room >

   

This room presents the process of creation – the result of the Indigenous Art Renaissance Program - over the past ten years.  These contemporary Tarabuco textiles are very fine and delicate. Conserving their traditional designs organized in bands, today they express through charming miniatures a complex world of daily activities and social life, with its farming, rituals, dances, and ceremonies. Tarabuco design opens into a naturally organized solar space inhabited by animals and known persons and filled with activities and cultural objects.

The light emanating from the subtle color degradations found in current weavings -produced from distinct shades of greens, purples, and blues - create an effect where the weavings appear as if the figures are illuminated by cascading rays of light accounting for the special ambience of this room.
