Room VII: Process of Design Transformation

Next Room >

   

This is the historical room that exhibits the process of change that has taken place in textile designs during the 20th century.  These changes were influenced by the social climate before and after the Agricultural Reform; a reform which greatly affected indigenous community life.

Here one can appreciate the extraordinary creativity of recent years (the result of the Indigenous Art Renaissance Program) yielding far greater complexity and beauty in relation to the earlier traditional weavings.

Production was greatly stimulated during this period with the revival of ancient figures, but also with the creation of a profusion of new designs and themes in both the Tarabuco and Jalq’a styles.
