First Exhibition of Molas in Panama 

 

One of the most recognizable artworks of Panama will be displayed from today until January 31st, 2010.  More than 200 molas will be exhibited at the Museum of the Panama Canal in the old quarter of the city.

Molas are part of the private collection of Spanish J. Llopis, which carries more than half a century has been achieved by combining them and a set of over 600 pieces.

These Fiber Arts are true works of art of the Kuna Indian women who embody the myths, fauna, flora, traditions and worldview of the indigenous people who live primarily in the archipelago of San Blas (Kuna Yala) in the northeastern Caribbean coast of Panama .

They are works of art worthy of having his own museum in Panama, said Llopis, who was willing to lend their assistance to realize this initiative.

Molas, in Kuna language means "clothing" are commonly square or rectangular pieces, hand-sewn by women with multiple overlapping cotton fabrics, combining patterns and colors, and which the women's incorporated in their "blouses" .

 

----------------------------------------

Una de las obras de arte más reconocidas de Panamá serán expuestas a partir de hoy hasta el 31 de enero. Se trata de más de 200 molas que serán exhibidas en el Museo del Canal Interoceánico de Panamá, en el Casco Viejo de la ciudad.

Las molas son parte de la colección particular del español J. Llopis, que lleva más de medio siglo reuniéndolas y que ha logrado un conjunto de más de 600 piezas.

Estos tejidos son verdaderas obras de arte con los que las indias kunas plasman los mitos, fauna, flora, tradición y cosmovisión de este pueblo indígena que habita principalmente en el archipiélago de San Blas (Kuna Yala), en la costa nordeste del Caribe de Panamá.

Son obras artísticas dignas de tener su propio museo en Panamá, dijo Llopis, que se mostró dispuesto a prestar su colaboración para concretar esta iniciativa.

Las molas, palabra que en lengua kuna significa "ropa", son piezas comúnmente cuadradas o rectangulares, cosidas a mano por las mujeres con varias telas del algodón sobrepuestas, conjugando diseños y colores, y con las que elaboran principalmente blusas.
