Cecilia Brunson Projects is pleased to share that the work of Claudia Alarcón and Silät is spotlighted in Tejiendo Territorios de Memoria (Weaving Territories of Memory), an exhibition bringing together their work alongside that of the Alianza Wichí network of women weavers at the Centro Cultural de los Pueblos Originarios in Tartagal, Salta, Argentina. The exhibition celebrates the ancestral knowledge and living textile traditions of Indigenous communities in the region, foregrounding the relationship between weaving, language, memory and territory.
Working with chaguar fibre, Alarcón and the Silät collective draw upon the textile traditions of the Wichí people, transforming ancestral knowledge into a contemporary artistic language. Through the transmission of stories and techniques between generations, their practice sustains a living connection between community, identity and land. The exhibition offers a valuable opportunity to encounter these practices in the region where they are rooted, bringing together the work of Wichí women weavers and celebrating the continuity of their cultural knowledge.
