Precolombart
Per primera vegada, el Museu Barbier-Mueller d’Art Precolombí de Barcelona i el Centre d’Estudis Precolombins sumen esforços per aconseguir que l’art de la zona andina arribi a un públic ben ampli. I és per això que hem escollit un lloc a Barcelona, l’Institut d’Estudis Catalans (l’IEC), que és emblemàtic per a la nostra cultura i que volem que alhora ho sigui per a la difusió de les cultures precolombines. En aquest cicle de conferències, hi presentarem quatre temes ben diferents, però que tenen com a denominador comú el desig de mostrar com sentien i com vivien aquelles persones, que ens poden semblar llunyanes en el temps i en l’espai, però que, com podrem comprovar, no estaven gaire lluny del nostre pensament de fa uns quants segles. Volem que aquesta sigui la primera d’un conjunt d’activitats en comú.

The Inca textile was one of the oldest traditions of the Andes mountain range and was to become one of the most developed during the peak period of this great empire. The textiles were used for clothing, money for exchange or funeral dressings and expressed the social status and wealth of the person that wore them.
The myths of Pre-Colombian America say that the gods taught the gold and silversmiths to do metalwork. The objects made of gold were used exclusively by the higher classes of society. Come and discover these treasures and create one to dress like an Inca.
Cycle of talks within the framework of the current exhibition “The Inca Trail. The past of the Andes” which brings together different specialists to give a more in-depth vision of some of the most notable aspects of the cultures that took place in the wide and diverse culture of the Andes.
For the fifth year in a row we are holding the Route of the Altars in Barcelona, a cultural initiative in which various entities collaborate to spread the Mexican tradition of Pre-Colombian origin of the Day of the Dead. Days in which the living and the dead share nostalgia, memories, longings, aspirations and ideals, food, drink and flowers.
Plastic workshop that combines with a guided visit to the exhibition and the subsequent elaboration of a dream catcher, a ritual object that according to a Sioux legend make the bad dreams disappear, and only trap the good ones.
For the fifth year in a row, the Barbier-Mueller Pre-Columbian Art Museum of Barcelona and the University Institute of Culture of the Pompeu Fabra University organise the conference Art and Myth. This edition focuses on the cultures of the north-eastern part of North America and the vision it has had of these cultures and their art since the first contacts with the Europeans.
The two talks will be given by Dr. Christian Feest, ethnologist and ethnological historian. Dr. Feest has been professor at the J. W. Goethe University of Frankfurt, director of the Ethnological Museum of Vienna and researcher at the Frobenius Institute. He has produced numerous specialised publications about the native cultures of North America and in the formation of collections of its art in Europe and the United States.
Come and discover the hieroglyphic symbols that are hidden in the pieces of the museum and create your own pottery following an ancient Pre-Columbian technique.
Reflection about the role of art as an object of memory in the oral African arts and the function of the museum as a place for conserving traditional knowledge.
The Barbier-Mueller PreColumbian Art Museum of Barcelona presents for the third year in a row its Altar of Dead as a way of sharing the debauchery of creativity: flowers, candles, incense, sugar skulls, music and food, which characterise the Mexican festivity of the Day of the Dead.
On the occasion of the installation of the Altar of the Dead in the museum, a cycle of three talks will take us into the world of this PreColumbian tradition that has lasted until the current day:
The Association of Friends of the Barbier-Mueller Pre-Columbian Art Museum and the University Institute of Culture of the Pompeu Fabra University organise for the third year in a row the Art and myth in primitive cultures Conference, with the aim on this occasion of reflecting on the primitive cultures in two areas of the American continent: Amazonia and the north- eastern coast of North America.
Narration of stories full of strange beings, spirits and animals of the jungle which are included in the Amazonian pottery of the exhibition.
The activity presented under the title of “When America wasn’t America”, consists of a didactical proposal offered by the Educational Service of the Museum to school groups, to work in the museum on the cultural environment of ancient America.
Summer is the period of popular festivities and celebrations filling the streets with beasts and fantastic beings which emerge from our popular mythology.
In the middle of the nineties, a Latin teacher and journalist from the Mattino di Napoli, Clara Miccinelli, stumbled on a find at her home: various parchment manuscripts that contributed surprising new facts in the scientific field about the history of the Inca and the Spanish conquest of Peru.
On the occasion of the celebration of the Poetry Week, the courtyard of the Palau Nadal will hold a recital of poetry with verses by Octavio Paz and other from the Aztec literature. Recitals given by Elisabeth Hernández and Manel Solàs.
The so-called brocades, materials for the crown of Aragon and Castilla in the last third of the 15th century and the first half of the 16th century, have sections of gold and silver, some ringed. Technically they are velvets, lampàs and brocatelles. Examples of three types of brocades have been conserved with drawing of pomegranates, and in some cases with heraldic themes on the inside.
If you have already tried on red clothes, the coloured candles and other ritual for starting the year on the right foot, come and celebrate the alacitas.
