Peruvian Knitted Hats
- Synopsis
- The videos in the SURVIVING TRADITIONS series have all been filmed on location in countries where craft traditions still survive. Made with the co-operation and assistance of the local people the videos are not travel films but vital records of tradtional processes and techniques within the social, cultural and historical context in which their skills have survived.
In the old Inca villages in the mountains around the Sacred Valley near Cusco and in islands in the middle of Lake Titicaca, men and women still knit hats as part of their traditional costume. Each village has its own unique shape and design of hat. This film shows men and women knitting hats in the villages of Accha alta, Chinchero, Pitumarca, Chahuaytiri in the Cusco area and on the islands of Amantini and Taquile on Lake Titicaca. - Series
