Txarinzuguyiñ, Fundación Chilka in search of the key agreements

 

A series of agreements will be established under the Ngüren project. This year in particular is going to be a year of many challenges that move us to act with determination and seriousness.


One of them is the agreement with the Costa Araucanía Local Education Service, with which the first collaboration agreement will be established for the manufacture of 500 Witxal (Mapuche looms) that will be used in the execution of the Guinness World Records project in 2021.

 

It is expected to establish an important collaboration agreement with the Faculty of Architecture and Construction of the Autonomous University of Temuco. Address the design of a sustainable architectural work of the First Institute of Mapuche Ancestral Arts and Crafts led by the Chilka Foundation.

 

The long-awaited agreement with private companies will be a great boost and will undoubtedly enhance this Cultural activity that will put the world's eyes in our region for a moment. Therefore, the contribution that private companies operating in Mapuche territory will provide us through contributions under the Law of Cultural Donations will be a great incentive to meet this challenge of the WGR.

 

And finally, with the Araucanía Development Corporation, it is expected to reaffirm the mutual collaboration agreement to host the GWR event at the Araucanía Pavilion. It should be noted that this event has a high impact for the region and especially for the Mapuche people, who could register as the first indigenous people in the southern hemisphere to set a Guinness world record.

Küpülwe: origen, cuidado y memoria en la primera infancia mapuche

 

El küpülwe, artefacto ancestral utilizado para portar a los bebés de manera vertical, ocupa un lugar profundo en la cultura mapuche. Elaborado con madera nativa y envuelto con lanas tejidas, este dispositivo no solo sostiene el cuerpo del niño o niña: sostiene también su pertenencia al mundo mapuche desde los primeros días de vida. En él, el bebé es llevado junto al cuerpo de la cuidadora, escuchando su respiración, su movimiento y su voz; aprendiendo, desde temprano, el ritmo de la comunidad y del territorio.

El küpülwe simboliza el primer espacio de afecto y protección, donde el recién nacido se integra al küme mogen, el buen vivir. Es un lugar que educa sin palabras: enseña seguridad, vínculo, equilibrio, y la presencia constante del küpalme, la raíz familiar.

Nuestra nueva exposición textil, dedicada a la primera infancia mapuche, pone en valor este objeto fundamental y la forma en que se entrelaza con la memoria del pueblo mapuche. A través de tejidos tradicionales, piezas en lana, reconstrucciones del küpülwe y relatos de portadores de este conocimiento, la muestra revela cómo este artefacto es a la vez cuna, abrigo y territorio.

En su estructura de madera y en las fibras teñidas a mano se conserva un mensaje antiguo: el cuidado es colectivo, profundo, y comienza desde el primer contacto con el mundo. El küpülwe nos recuerda que cada niñe es recibido, sostenido y acompañado por una trama cultural que lo antecede y lo proyecta hacia el futuro.

Nuestra exposición busca honrar este legado, visibilizando cómo el küpülwe, junto al arte textil mapuche, continúa siendo un puente entre generaciones, un símbolo de continuidad y una expresión viva de identidad.
