Los mapires crudos (Raw mapires)

Los mapires crudos (Raw mapires) group a series of baskets to transport food and materials that installed fall in the form of a waterfall located either on the wall
or in the center of the exhibition space. The baskets are filled with some of the materials with which the artisans of the area work to make utilitarian objects for domestic use: various types of earth or clay, logs of firewood for burning, rattan, wicks and mapire palm. In this work the traditions of basket weaving, weaving and warping come together together with the original material of pottery: earth. The baskets will feature gestural interventions based on contemporary weaving and embroidery, highlighting the tradition of weaving as a primary activity of many of the women in the area.
