Join our conversation about Indigenous textile knowledge from the Tarabuco community in Bolivia and the cultural meanings of weaving. Through storytelling and shared reflections, this event explores weaving as a social, spiritual, and political practice. At the same time, weaving practices have been shaped by ongoing colonial and capitalist structures, which have commodified textiles and changed how people relate to it and to each other. The event creates space to rethink who benefits from cultural production and how Indigenous weaving continues to negotiate power, visibility, and survival. The conversation is followed by a screening of the short film “Awanasunchis (2020/21)” showing impressions of weaving as a living cultural practice.
Together with Leo Stotz from the Tarabuco community and founder of the Fundación Cultural Ayllu Tarabucomanta from Bolivia, we invite you to a welcoming space for exchange and dialogue. Come by, get involved and experience textiles through touch.
