A WORD FROM THE CURRENT PATRIARCH;

Alfonso Sulca Chavez
"My tapestries should be viewed from a distance, from w one can appreciate the profundity, volume and overall effect."
I am an artisan whose apprenticeship comes from practice. Since my adolescence I've worked in the family workshop, attending to the need of survival.
I have always believed that to develop this art and maintain its originality is like building a bridge between the past and present.
My work is an expression of Andean culture because it is necessary to have in the present those who were our ancestors, being that the majority of my work is inspired by the Huari culture.
In my workshop, I create with my family and we are dedicated exclusively to the production of tapestries and rugs, the theme of which we use to rescue cultural essences.
Thus we hold the distinction of using vegetal dyes, a practice that has been nearly extinct since 1969; we have contributed to the rescue of its use, allowing the integration of nature's colors, making them harmonious.
The prime material is sheep's wool (95%) and cotton (5%), and natural dyes derived from forest plants like the tankar , a shrub that grows in hard to reach places, and I also use walnut, molle , and the carmine of the cochineal insect.
Besides the traditional technique of weaving we have developed the arhui stitch, which consists of utilizing the warp as a base for the linkage between two tracts of distinct colors.
The tapestries have an ecological character; they are 100% natural, both in their fabric and their dyes, and their themes contain a message of Peru's essence.

Middle Horizo

The Wari (Spanish Huari ) was a Middle Horizon civilization that flourished in the Andes in the south of modern-day Peru , from about 500 to 1200 A.D.

The capital city of the same name is located near the modern city of Ayacucho , Peru. This city was the center of a civilization that covered much of the highlands and coast of modern Peru .

Early on, their territory expanded to include the ancient oracle center of Pachacamac , though it seems to have remained largely autonomous.

Then later it expanded to include much of the territory of the earlier Moche and later Chimu cultures.

The best-preserved remnants of the Huari Culture exist near the town of Quinua at the Wari Ruins .

Also well-known are the Wari ruins of Pikillaqta ("Flea Town") a short distance south-east of Cuzco en route to Lake Titicaca , which date from the Wari period before the Incas rose to power in the region.

The Wari are historically important for a number of reasons. They were contemporaries of the Tiwanaku and shared similar artistic styles.

Contact between the two cultures appears to have been limited to a span of 50 years in which t was sporadic fighting over a mine first occupied by the Tiwanaku.

The mine straddled the border between the two cultures' sps of influenc...
