Vestigios — Arqueología de un Sistema Indumentario Futuro

After several decades of unheeded warnings, the assumptions of the capitalist system are irreversibly collapsing. The overexploitation, overpopulation and overpollution of the planet give rise to a continuous state of political and economic crises, which added to the successive pandemics that have occurred since 2020, catalyze the process of collapse of key industries and cities. From then on, urban inhabitants flee in search of basic resources such as fresh water, food and hospitable conditions. One of the main emerging cultures of the southern hemisphere has developed in the coastal macro zone corresponding to the current Villamávida.

Vestigios. Archeology of a Future Clothing System exhibits more than a century of history lived by this human settlement, from the Great Migration [a.G.M.] to the imminent disappearance of all traces of civilization in its Flamboyant period, emphasizing the territorial processes that promoted both development of new materials, techniques and technologies, such as behaviors, rules of coexistence and rituals that are manifested through clothing. The exhibition, structured from the auditory discovery coming from tomorrow, invites us to ask ourselves: will we be able to restore a relationship of symbiosis and mutualism in constant evolution with other species?
