Tarabuco Textil

The first thing that gets the attention in the designs Tarabuco is their clear segmentation in bands, defined among them by diverse types of elements, an effect of fundamentally provoked order for the symmetry and lastly the impression of a clear space. Their images remind us somehow to the hieroglyphic paintings of the Egyptians that you related the life of their faraones. The design tarabuco opens up to a solar space of organized nature, inhabited by animals and well-known people full with activities and cultural objects. The abstract figures or icónicas are knitted in colored sheep bellón in alive colors what allows them to contrast clearly on the bottom always knitted in white cotton. This way not only the color but also the texture, the figures appear in relief, they make stand out each detail, allowing that the look captures them with easiness. It is as a to count through the fabric. Besides working the contrast, the designs Tarabuco also plays with the degradations of the color. The effect of strange rays of light that you come to accentuate the brightness that already had the color take place this way. The textile of the region of Tarabuco combine abstract elements with a figurative language that expresses the Kay Pacha" (this world of here), the social one and the landscape that the man dominates. Those figures are clearly recognizable as the farmers, the preparation of the Pucara, elaboration of the Chicha, the siembra, etc.

The Pujllay or Game begins with a Catholic mass in Quechua language it stops then to continue with the party and the rejoicing for the victory of the Battle of " Jumbata " in a parade of nonpareil coloring, the peasants move to the place where the Pucara is and they dance in circles to its surroundings to the they are of the Tokoros, Pinquillos, Spurs, Bells and Drummers.

Jalq'a Textil
The fabrics Jalq'a is characterized by the absolute prevalence of the figurative thing and an abstract almost total absence of geometry and of symmetries espejadas. On the contrary they express the chaos of a dark and plethoric genesis situation of strange animal species. In an atmosphere of tones voluntarily darkened and without contrasts, the called characters arise Khurus (Quechua) for the weavers, that is to say: Wild, untamable animals, and indomesticables. Some are clearly identified: Owls, Toads, Viscachas, etc.. but be for gratefulness or for the peculariedad of their you often line they are zoologically impossible, for ejm: Flames with three humps, as long as other characters are simply imaginary and chaotic: Symbiosis of different species, quadrupeds with hump in the head, animals with eyes in the line.... the human beings - represented very simple and schematically, when there are them - they see each other as lost in the forest of free, beautiful and surprising animals. The aesthetic Jalq'a gives form to continuous universe, without axes, chaotic, without effect of light, of difficult perception, the designs Jalq'a that today almost they use only a figurative language, speaks of the Uku Pacha" (The sacred world of the depths and of the remote places and of the lights diffuse town of extraordinary animals, non controllable animals for the human being). That is the version of the Anthropologists of ASUR.
