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. |

Departure
at 8:30 every day located to 23 km., the Jalq'a, an indigenous culture
occupies a territory located to the North and East of the city of Sucre.
They conform a near population to 20.000 people, they inhabit among the
2500 m. to 3500 m.s.n.m. the strong erosion of the lands of pending discharges,
the small earth parcels that don't always allow the rotation of cultivations
and the irregularity imprevisible of the rains, make of the agriculture
a scarce and insecure source of revenues. Today the earth can no longer
assure its subsistence to the families and the population's part is forced
to emigrate or to look for to work temporary in the cities, the region
of the Jalq'a is an open and resolved cheerful town; a town without mystery
but with charm. Trip of one day, visits to textile shops, ceramic where
one will be able to observe and to participate of the processes for its
elaboration. |

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. Continuous with the Tour walks for the siembra places and crop of products, coexistence with the comunarios and their native wealth. |
