Wallka-Tradición Moderna

Abstract

Abstract:The present title work called "Wallka - modern tradition" proposes the design of accessories for women and men based on an investigation of the symbols and colors used in the wallka, an accessory that makes up the Saraguro clothing. Investigating the history of that accessory has made it possible to know the importance of the work of the women of the Saraguro community, who have passed on their teachings from generation to generation. Wallka intends to make a line of six accessories embroidered with mullos (three for men and three for women); which start with sketches and digital media, to later make a chromatic selection and embroider on a canvas, obtaining accessories that start from a cultural context that contributes to the diffusion of the elements used within the ancestral community of the province of Loja, Saraguro.
