Exhibition "Mornag"

Ignacio Atkins. Exhibition Hall Stripart. The Mornag project, through a visual reinterpretation of chants, narrates the stories of various women who managed to transmit the designs and techniques of the Mornag, a form of textile art and traditional clothing made by women of the Gunadule people. This traditional textile art has been an integral part of the Gunadule communities for hundreds of years. Over generations, the techniques of Mornag have been passed down from mother to daughter, dedicated to preserving and keeping this art alive. The Mornag stands out not only for the skill involved in its making but also for the profound cultural and community significance it embodies. According to the Guna worldview, it was the creator of the universe, Bab Dummad, who gifted the Gunadule people this knowledge. Later, a woman named Nanaologwadule would make the first Mornag using cotton plants and various elements from the earth. This project seeks to rescue and value this tradition, inviting a deeper reflection on ancestral cultures and their relationship with their natural environment. Ignacio Atkins is a Panamanian photographer with indigenous roots. His work explores human connections and visual experimentation, merging modern and traditional techniques to create images that invite the viewer to discover new perspectives of the world. Exhibition on weekdays from 09:00 to 14:00 and 16:00 to 22:00, and on Saturdays from 10:00 to 14:30. Free admission.
