In the heart of the Andes, colonial textiles weave a story that transcends time and space. Their beauty, technical sophistication, and diversity of uses and materials both conceal and reveal processes of cultural transformation and redefinition during the colonial period. The exhibition Contacts: Colonial Textiles of the Andes presents works that illustrate the effects of colonization and interbreeding, and highlights the role of textile art in shaping Andean society between the 16th and 19th centuries.
By offering the public a collection of pieces of extraordinary value, the Chilean Museum of Pre-Columbian Art seeks to show that these contacts were more than a simple encounter between Spaniards and Indigenous peoples. In colonial America, these contacts were complex, involving imposition and resistance, sometimes violent and sometimes creative, generating a new social, political, and cultural reality.
Colonial textiles are a testament to this and reflect Andean creativity. They are the result of the introduction of new materials, tools, and techniques, along with the preservation of a rich Indigenous textile tradition. These works, which interweave designs from diverse origins, not only capture the reality of this period but also celebrate the resilience and rich Andean cultural heritage that endures through the centuries.

Santa Lucía Hill

Mountain climbing

番茄Simin

The best view of the Andes Mountains. I climbed up instead of taking the cable car. The distance is not far, but the ground seems to be under repair. I fell and it was not worth it. In addition to enjoying the scenery on the top of the mountain, remember to try the local classic cold drink mote. It looks like a cold drink with pudding and beans, and it tastes good. It is said that the local Chileans will also have a cup at the top of the mountain. I took the cable car down the mountain. It was 3400, about 4 US dollars, which is not expensive. It is still a must-see attraction.

Plaza de Armas

开心

The Plaza de Armas in Santiago, the capital of Chile, was a bit scary when I read the guide before I went there. It said there would be riots, thieves, robberies, etc., so I was very cautious. They said that mobile phones and cameras could not be exposed, which made us panic. When we got there, we really didn&#39;t dare to take out our mobile phones. Seeing that the church was very beautiful, we took it out and took a picture and quickly put it back in our pockets. Later, we entered the church and walked around the square. It didn&#39;t feel as scary as what was written on the Internet! Then we saw someone on the balcony of the museum next to it, so we went in. The museum is free, but you have to deposit your bags. You have to use a one-yuan coin to store your own locker. There is a room upstairs where you can climb to the balcony of the bell tower on the top floor, but you have to wait for about 20 minutes. People inside can take a group up, about 6 people at a time, because the stairs are very narrow and only one person can go through. When you get up there, you can take the last picture overlooking the church, which feels good.
