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 de Santiago

Historic buildings

Standing among the colonial buildings of the Plaza de Armas, dyed honey by the setting sun, I vaguely heard the echoes of history. The chiming of the church&#39;s bronze bells startled a flock of pigeons as I stroked the polished stone carvings framing the central fountain&mdash;said to have been a resting place for countless travelers over three centuries. An elderly Indian in a striped poncho sat on a bench weaving colorful ropes. At his feet, a small mound of colored salt formed in an aluminum box, while a young man wearing headphones skated by him. The changing of the guards at the presidential palace, their heels tapping out a rhythmic beat, couldn&#39;t drown out the melody of &quot;The Dove&quot; played by an accordionist in the corner. I pulled a coin with Bolivar&#39;s face from my pocket and suddenly felt that this square resembled it: engraved with the solemnity of the colonial era on one side, and the heat of everyday life on the other.
