Hace un a\u00f1o, el Instituto Nacional de las Mujeres (INAMU) de Costa Rica http:\/\/www.inamu.go.cr\/
\ncontrat\u00f3 a mis amigas artistas costarricenses Ana Isabel Barrientos (artista visual con especialidad en dise\u00f1o) y Adriana Ram\u00edrez (artista textil especializada en desarrollo Ind\u00edgena sostenible), para que ofrecieran una capacitaci\u00f3n a cinco pueblos Ind\u00edgenas Ng\u00f6be-Guaym\u00ed\u00ad de la zona sur del pa\u00eds.
\nComo parte de esta capacitaci\u00f3n, han llevado sus piezas a exhibici\u00f3n y venta, para as\u00ed entrenarse en destrezas de mercadeo. Hoy, cinco de ellas visitaron la Galer\u00eda Oct\u00e1gono, acompa\u00f1adas de sus instructoras y una representante del INAMU. <\/p>\n

Esta visita fue un encuentro sumamente importante desde el punto de vista textil, pues el grupo de ellas y mi grupo (Colectiva de Mujeres Cerro Danta), compararon notas en cuanto a dise\u00f1os y t\u00e9cnicas utilizadas, ampliando horizontes y aliment\u00e1ndose mutuamente de la creatividadad de cada quien. Pero igualmente importante ha sido el aspecto humano, pues en nuestra provincia de Heredia donde vivimos \u2014al norte de la ciudad capital de San Jos\u00e9\u2014 se acostumbra observar mujeres Guaym\u00ed pidiendo limosna, lo cual inspira un sentimiento general de l\u00e1stima. Hoy, sin embargo, tanto nosotras como los dos ni\u00f1os de mi Colectiva que pudieron acompa\u00f1arnos, nos deleitamos viendo y comprando tapices bordados en mastate<\/em>, bolsos tejidos con los dedos usando camisetas (remeras) desechadas, e innumerables mu\u00f1ecos y animales de tela y de mastate, todo exquisitamente bordado y decorado.<\/p>\n

dia-de-amistad-1.JPG <\/a>El mastate es una fibra que estas mujeres sacan de la corteza de ciertos \u00e1rboles del g\u00e9nero Castilla<\/em>, procesada hasta convertirla en una especie de membrana, la cual bordan y pintan con tintes naturales. Estas telas de corteza son com\u00fanmente usadas en todo el \u00e1mbito de las Am\u00e9ricas equinocciales donde crecen \u00e1rboles dicotiledoneos diversos (mientras que al sur de la l\u00ednea ecuatorial y al norte del Tr\u00f3pico de C\u00e1ncer son m\u00e1s usados los tejidos de lana animal). dia-de-amistad-3.JPG<\/a><\/p>\n

Muchos de los pueblos Guaym\u00ed provienen de Panam\u00e1 y poco a poco se han asentado en lugares remotos e inh\u00f3spitos al sur de Costa Rica, donde a veces sufren de pobreza extrema debido a a la falta de comunicaci\u00f3n geogr\u00e1fica con el resto de la regi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

El proceso de capacitaci\u00f3n que Ana y Adriana tuvieron que implementar es sumamente interesante y complejo, comprendiendo desde el aprendizaje de conceptos b\u00e1sicos sobre color, pintura y formato, hasta la buena presentaci\u00f3n del trabajo.<\/p>\n

A year ago, the National Institute for Women (INAMU) http:\/\/www.inamu.go.cr\/ in Costa Rica, hired my friends and artists, Ana Isabel Barrientos (visual artist specialized in design), and Adriana Ram\u00edrez (textile artist specialized in sustainable Indigenous development), to offer training to five Indigenous Ng\u00f6be-Guaym\u00ed groups in the southern part of the country.
\nAs part of this training they have taken their pieces to exhibition and sale in order to develop marketing skills. Today, five of them paid a visit to Galer\u00eda Oct\u00e1gono along with their instructors and a representative from INAMU. mujer-knobe-1.JPG<\/a><\/p>\n

This visit was a very important encounter from the textile point of view, because their group and my group (Cerro Danta Women’s Collective), compared notes with respect to designs and techniques utilized, thereby broadening horizons and feeding on each other’s creativity. But equally important was the human aspect since in our province of Heredia\u2014where we live, north of the capital city of San Jos\u00e9\u2014we can see some Guaym\u00ed women begging, which generally inspires pity. This time, however, we and the two children that where present really enjoyed admiring and buying tapestries embroidered over mastate<\/em>, bags woven with their fingers using discarded T-shirt material, and an assortment of dolls and animals in fabric and mastate<\/em>\u2014all exquisitely embroidered and embellished.<\/p>\n

Mastate<\/em> is a fiber that women make out of the bark of certain trees of the genus Castilla<\/em>, processed to turn it into a membrane, which they embroider and paint with natural dyes. These bark cloths are commonly used throughout the equinoctial Americas, where diverse dicotyledon trees can be found (as opposed to locations south of the equator, or north of the Tropic of Cancer where animal wool knits are more commonly found.)

Many Guaym\u00ed groups come from Panama, and have settled little by little in remote and\/or inhospitable areas in the Costa Rican south, where they sometimes endure extreme poverty due to lack of geographic communication with the rest of the region.<\/p>\n

The training process Ana and Adriana had to implement is very interest and complex, comprising everything from basic concepts about color, paint, and format, to good work presentation.<\/strong> <\/p>\n
