Title: RandAcerca
Description: Conceived as an exhibition, of lace production in Tucuman territory, having as its epicenter the Historic House of the National Museum of Independence. In it, different aspects of the textile practice of the lace making was exhibited, a technique actively carried out by the lace makers of the rural commune of El Cercado, department of Monteros, province of Tucumán. La Randa is a textile craft, a woven and embroidered mesh, which has been developed since the time of the conquest where Ibatín was founded. "The Castilian ladies who settled there, brought among their skills the work of these needle lace that they knew how to patiently transmit orally to their descendants," says Alejandra Mizrahi. After five centuries it is still weaving, which implies tradition, identity and history. La Randa is made almost exclusively in the province of Tucumán, more specifically in Monteros, in the rural community of El Cercado, where a large number of weavers live. The Tucuman Randeras developed a specific technique in the making of their lace that differentiates it from other textile pieces.
