Opening Friday July 21th 6.30 pm
The exhibition TELETECA features a series of pieces – documents, garments, accessories – from the heritage collection of the Museo de la Historia del Traje in dialogue with contemporary reinterpretations in the hands of artists, designers and the audience itself. The proposal serves as a trigger for the creation of heritage by generating novel works of art. The suggested activities that accompany the exhibition are intended to enable the appropriation of the techniques and materials from the pieces, so that visitors can reproduce them and subsequently make them part of the exhibition itself. To facilitate this, designs from the online library of textile motifs called Teleteca will be used: this is a virtual device made up of downloadable textile patterns of the aforementioned heritage pieces that can be freely redesigned.
For some time now, museums have been undergoing a transformation, moving away from the static glass case and embracing more and more agents of change. They not only incorporate new voices and perspectives, but also enhance the very same glass cases. In line with this vision, this project believes in the dynamic formulation of the heritage of our textiles and its continuous growth through each of the proposed activities.
