Pallay: Andean Weaving of Liturgy and Design

posted in: Events, News, Resources | 0

This project looks into the history and meaning of the liturgical year and highlights key symbols and elements that represent it. Simultaneously, it explores the Andean culture of Bolivia, in particular, their millenary tradition of weaving. It then juxtaposes these two studies and finds the places where similarities and differences can be drawn out, especially notions of time, seasons, festivities, traditions and art. These concepts are creatively translated into a contemporary graphic design medium with visual symbols that become systematic patterns, resembling those found in the textile art of these cultures.
