Friday, Oct. 30: 'Entretejido' – A Short Film Exploring Representations of Indigeneity in Alpaca Fashions
With Patricia Alvarez, Brandeis University
Entretejido is an observational documentary that weaves together the different sites and communities involved in the making of alpaca wool fashions. The film is a sensorial immersion into the textures that compose this supply chain, from animal to runway, employing sonic and visual juxtapositions that explore the fluid complexity of entanglements between Andean artisans, alpaca herders, Peruvian urban designers, development efforts and the emerging Peruvian high-fashion world. Join us for a screening of the film followed by Q&A with the filmmaker.
Patricia Alvarez Astacio is a Puertorican anthropologist and filmmaker whose scholarly research and creative practice develops in the folds between ethnography, critical theory, sensory ethnography, and the documentary arts.
This is a special event, co-sponsored by the University of Arizona School of Anthropology.
