Mother Exhibitions
In art exhibitions, Mater has found a new language to make visible the various layers of their work and their identity as a collaborative network. In these spaces, it is possible to bring together the knowledge, territories, stories, and ecosystems that they research to then reinterpret them through different projects, purposes, and people.
The exhibited pieces contain sensitive processes that evoke thought and emotion. With art, Mater extends their reach through the senses and the symbolic, creating new forms of connection and understanding. It is also a convergence point for disciplines, knowledge, and people, where creators and observers meet.
THREADS
Mater is an interdisciplinary network dedicated to articulating and communicating the profound cultural and biological diversity of Peru. It not only makes this richness visible but also makes it tangible, engaging the senses. Additionally, it functions as a conduit or connection.
By uniting gastronomy, science, art, and humanities, Mater adopts a multifaceted approach to understanding and processing this diversity. The thread, symbol of continuity and connection, serves as a central metaphor in this exploration, intertwining landscapes, people, memories, ingredients, techniques, and stories. At its core lies the awareness of stories within stories, the layers of interconnections that shape our understanding of life and open new conversations.
In collaboration with artisans, artists, and researchers from various fields, Mater focuses on how ancestral knowledge not only endures but also generates new perspectives, acting as a bridge between past and present, tradition and innovation. Everyday tools, gestures, songs, or narratives that are often overlooked in their familiarity hold deep cultural significance, shaping both daily life and the broader social fabric of the communities with which we interact.
Materiality is a fundamental aspect of our exploration, offering multiple avenues for experimentation and expression, embracing change in a research practice that delves into the essence of materials, their seasonal fluctuations, symbolism, and vital processes they contain.
