📋 Tender Overview
On November 23, an exhibition of Peruvian Andean textiles was successfully inaugurated at the headquarters of “Casa da América Latina” in Lisbon. The exhibition, titled "Extraordinary Textiles: Peru", was organized in coordination with the Embassy of Peru in Portugal and is open to the public until December 29, 2023.
The exhibition displays 24 pieces of textiles - including ponchos, mantles, sashes, chullos, woven dolls - from Cusco, Puno and Apurímac. The curatorial work was carried out by Ana Paula Guimaraes and Carlos Augusto Ribeiro. The activity was complemented with an exhibition of photographs from the exhibition “Qhapac Ñan: Great Inca Trail.”
Likewise, videos were shown with information on ancestral weaving techniques preserved by Andean communities in Peru, highlighting the role of women and their contribution to the family and communal economy. The documentary “Tejido Andino” by Mariana Tschudi stood out; an interview with the Peruvian historian María del Carmen Reparaz; and videos of the “Wallata-Ollantaytambo” plan.
More than a hundred people attended the inauguration, including personalities from the world of culture in Portugal, local authorities, members of the Diplomatic Corps and the Peruvian community, to whom the Embassy offered a reception with pisco sour and Peruvian snacks.
