LA MEMÒRIA DEL BOSC | JERÓNIMO URIBE
April 30 to June 30, 2026
Opening at 19 h.
This exhibition springs from the tradition of the amate paper, an ancient practice in the Mesoamerican culture. It was mainly used to create codices, religious rituals, and sacred expressions. The paper was traditionally manufactured from the inner bark of wild fig trees and the jonote (mulberry trees).
The memory of the forest is a journey form the paper as a support to the paper is an event. From here, the paper art emerges. When the bark is carefully peeled away, and the fibres are boiled, pounded, and threaded together, the craft begins. There is no separation between process and result: the amate paper making is already a creative act.
