Sobre “ANCESTRAL”: textos dos jurados
"En esta era de tecnología predominante, repeticiones obsesivas y patrones de vida acelerados los seres humanos parecemos olvidar la importancia de contemplar la vida a través de un lente más poético. Los deseos banales y las obligaciones de cada día parecen alejarnos de la espontaneidad y naturalidad; de relegar la tradición al pasado absoluto.
Para entender la naturaleza humana es necesario entender de dónde provenimos. Nuestros ancestros han formado durante los siglos un acervo de historia, conocimientos, valores y creencias que nutren nuestras experiencias en la vida contemporánea. De esta manera el pasado y el presente conviven en cada uno de nosotros, nutriendo nuestro carácter individual. Jorge Luis Borges expresa magistralmente esta idea en El Informe de Brodie (1970): ‘En realidad no existe una oposición entre lo tradicional y lo nuevo, entre el orden y la aventura. La tradición está hecha de una trama secular de aventuras.’
Ancestral es el impulso de los seres humanos por auto-decorarse. La producción de ornamentos corporales es una de las actividades creativas más antiguas en la historia de la humanidad. En las diversas culturas del mundo los joyeros ha sido considerados como individuos con gran sabiduría y poder; sus conocimientos pasados de una generación a otra para perpetuar un oficio generador de maravillas a través de los siglos.
Si nos preguntamos acerca de nuestros vínculos genéticos y uniones sociales, nos daremos cuenta que estamos preguntándonos quiénes son nuestros ancestros.
Nuestros ancestros podrían ser definidos como la línea directa de nuestros antepasados, los que nos dejaron valores, creencias e ideologías fundamentales e indestructibles.
El ancestro puede ir de manera individual, pero también puede ser derivado de diferentes ramificaciones que finalmente han formado lo que se le llama ancestro común.
Queremos descubrir y entender las pequeñas diferencias que hacen posible que aunque tenemos un ancestro común, seguimos siendo personas individuales.
En cinco años, la ESCUELA DE JOYERIA WALKA STUDIO se ha consolidado como una de las pocas escuelas de Joyería Contemporánea en América Latina. Sus espacios han visto pasar estudiantes de Chile y otros países latinoamericanos, así como profesores de todo el mundo. Todos ellos haciendo honor al oficio de joyero y transformando la joyería en un rico medio de expresión artística.
La ESCUELA DE JOYERIA WALKA STUDIO lanza su primer concurso de joyería con el tema ANCESTRAL. Los estudiantes de la escuela están invitados a realizar ornamentos corporales que conmemoren los orígenes del oficio joyero y, a la vez, demuestren una profunda comprensión del mundo contemporáneo; objetos capaces de reincorporar la poesía en la vida de quienes los portan o los observan; de retar las expectativas sobre lo que conocemos como joyería y de sorprender con ideas aventuradas.
Este concurso se postula como una celebración de la cultura latinoamericana y su habilidad para comunicarse globalmente. Los resultados, sin duda, conformarán una exhibición que cruzará fronteras y enriquecerá el panorama de la joyería contemporánea internacional.
Esperamos su participación con gran emoción."

Tanel Veenre + Jorge Manilla
O terceiro Taller Viajero já está com inscrições abertas inicialmente para o Mexico, depois, Chile.
FaceBack consists of an intensive three-day workshop dictated by two teachers, Mexican visual and jewellery artist Jorge Manilla and Estonian fashion and jewellery designer Tanel Veenre and is aimed at jewellery, fashion or industrial designers, visual artists, photographers and architects who either work professionally or are in the last year of their studies and who desire to work on conceptual assignments using jewellery as a media.
The workshop will be based on the study, conceptualization and execution of a jewel which considers the facade and backside as equally relevant players on the narrative of the piece. The object will be the result of careful analysis and discussion on topics such as Public and Private, Show-off and Hide, Tradition and Invention. FaceBack seeks to provide the participants with a more liberal approach to jewellery making and with an understanding of its relation with other creative disciplines. The workshop focuses strongly on the development of conceptual thinking and the encouragement of experimentation, combining this with the techinical abilities of the participants.
At the end of the workshop the participants will have created a piece of conceptual jewellery. They will have gained a wider understanding of conceptual contemporary jewellery and sharpened their ability to evaluate and critique their own work.
FaceBack is the third workshop in the first series of nine of the program Travelling Workshop, an initiative of Otro Diseño, which offers jewelers, designers and visual artists who live in Latin America the opportunity to address the global notion of contemporary jewellery by the exploration of conceptual and critical thinking and the application of materials, techniques and technology that respond to that line of thought.
Travelling Workshop acts as an open workshop made accessible to comers from various disciplines, where contemporary jewellery is studied and created collaboratively. The program aims to provide jewelers, artists and designers in this cultural region with the tools to nurture their own creative process, define their individual position as an artist and further develop the quality of their work. At the same time, the program looks to to strengthen the respective national scenes of the participants and to encourage them to become active participants in the international arena of contemporary jewellery. Travelling Workshop is intended to foster creativity and encourage experimentation in an atmosphere of cultural exchange, conversation, engagement, and freedom of expression.
When: from Friday 9th to Sunday 11th August, 2013
Where: Nueve25 Plata Studio, Querétaro No 97, Col. Roma, Mexico City
