Trames. Obres tradicionals i creacions contemporànies americanes

The exhibition curated by Estela Ocampo proposes an approach to American cultures through their artistic expressions and the systems of belief and thought reflected in them. The route is structured around the relationship between works by six contemporary artists and pieces from the Museu Etnològic i de Cultures del Món, highlighting both the persistence and the transformation of cultural traditions that connect past and present. One of the central motifs of the show is the "trames" (weaves), not only because of the presence of the lines that trace the figures of the Andean pieces and of the kené, a complex system of geometric patterns that interlace to ornament a great diversity of supports, such as the textiles and ceramics of the Shipibo-Konibo, but also because of the threads that bind these heritage pieces to contemporary creations and to the voices of the artists.
