The exhibition "Threads of time" celebrates the vitality and relevance of traditional knowledge in today's world, its capacity to reconfigure to endure, and its influence in the present. Starting from an interdisciplinary and dialogical approach, Mater collaborates with artisans, artists, and researchers on the various ways in which knowledge not only survives but also serves as a catalyst for new visions and perspectives, acting as a bridge that maintains conversations between the past and the present. The thread, a symbol of continuity and connection, becomes the central metaphor of the exhibition, intertwining eras, cultures, and territories.

In this context, the Pedro de Osma Museum contributes by integrating pieces from Tiahuanaco culture, as well as from the Inca and colonial periods, which, through its narrative, adds to the concept of the exhibition. The achieved conversation not only represents the continuity of cultural processes, customs, aesthetics, and associated functions but also demonstrates how this legacy remains alive and is in constant enrichment. Far from being static, it adapts and adopts other forms in response to different times and realities, maintaining an essential connection with its origin.

This invites us to reflect on the materialities that not only envelop and contain the intangible but also transmit it, taking on the narration of stories, identities, and practices that continue to weave a vast network of connections, where the temporal, the cultural, and the biological converge. In this dialogue between the human and the material, the dynamics of exchange that define the relationship between people, processes, and their environment are reflected. It is at this intersection where Mater dedicates itself to recording, revitalizing, reinterpreting, and spreading these symbolic links, which underlie the medicinal use of plants in the Andes, a textile woven on a loom during the dry season, a geometry traced with bark from Amazonian trees, or a quero made with present-day technologies, envisioning the future.
