Synopsis
Weaving memory, weaving stories, weaving time… As we travel through the beauty of these lands in southern Chile, we weave wool and wood, together with the Williche communities and neighbourhood councils, who share their ancestral wisdom and memories while we reflect on the problems of the present. Problems related to the aquaculture industry, the establishment of companies in the area, caring for the environment, discrimination, loss of local knowledge and traditions.
A video-essay documenting work from the Collaborative Art Residency of the Red Cultura Programme, with the community of Pargua. In the town in the Lakes Region we often pass through; one might say, crossing the pass…
