The “Ponchos of Our America” exhibition has opened in Annex A of Argentina’s Chamber of Deputies. It was organized by Adrián Brizuela, a national deputy representing Catamarca Province.
The exhibition explores the territories of “Our America” through textile storytelling. The poncho, an emblem of Indigenous identity, remains part of life in northern Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador.
Brizuela said that in Catamarca the poncho is more than a garment: it is part of the province’s history, traditions and identity. The craft is passed down through generations, with artisans helping keep the memory of their communities alive.
