The 13th IXEL 2024 Latin American Fashion Congress, held in Barranquilla, Colombia, devoted a key space to analyzing the complex relationship between culture and migration in the \"Cultural Heritage\" discussion. In a context where migration in Latin America has reach record numbers, the fashion industry faces the challenge of incorporating cultural diversity and promoting inclusion, while preserving the traditions and legacy of each region.<\/span><\/p>\n Among the panelists, Valentina Su\u00e1rez, director of <\/span>Universo MOLA <\/span><\/i>the Latin American sustainable fashion movement, joined international experts such as Jay McCauley Bowstead, Senior Lecturer at the <\/span>University of the Arts London<\/span><\/i>, and Jos\u00e9 Forteza, Senior Editor of <\/span>Vogue Latinoam\u00e9rica<\/span><\/i>, Honorary President of the\u00a0 <\/span>FDLA <\/span><\/i>and Global Ambassador <\/span>Universo MOLA<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n During the session, held on Thursday, October 24 in the Glass Pavilion, the panelists discussed a central question: Are migratory processes creative inputs that modify the essence of cultures and standards of design and prosperity?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n From a perspective of \"cultural heritage in motion\", they explored both material and immaterial culture as forms of development, in the same way, they reflected on humanity's commitment to the regeneration of the planet. In addition, the dilemma of choosing between being naturalists or technologically advanced was discussed, addressing the meaning of cultural heritage in the context of fashion, the creation of an emotional connection with clothing and the challenges of decolonization.<\/span><\/p>\n \"How can we create and communicate a truly decolonized fashion?\" asked Valentina Su\u00e1rez, who opened the space for reflection on Latin American identity.<\/span><\/p>\n Throughout the event, participants' voices outlined a multifaceted view of the topic. Forteza told the audience: \u201cIn order not to feel the absence of settlement, remember that there is nothing more liberating than being eradicated. Eradicate yourselves, look to the future: tomorrow is a new day and the next destination, a new beginning. .Do not hold on, take your memory with you, love your grandparents, but with a drawer that you can close and open whenever you want. Eradicate yourselves and conquer the world, it is yours and it is there, in front of you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n With the support of the <\/span>Mayor's Office of Barranquilla<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Barranquilla es Moda<\/span><\/i> and the <\/span>Gerencia de Proyectos Especiales<\/span><\/i>, the event offered an invitation to reflect on the role of fashion in building a sustainable future, where migration can be understood as an opportunity to enrich cultural heritage and recognize the inherent value of diversity.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Por Jaqueline Quesada El 13\u00ba Congreso Latinoamericano de Moda IXEL […]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":64351,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,180,183],"tags":[359,499,494,493,498,93,491,242,496,92,47,322,220,497,492,495],"class_list":["post-64350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-molanews","category-mola-news","category-noti-mola-news","tag-america-latina","tag-avanzado","tag-barranquilla","tag-cultural","tag-destino","tag-disenadores-sostenibles","tag-expertos","tag-latinoamerica","tag-memoria","tag-moda-latinoamericana","tag-moda-sostenible","tag-mola","tag-mola-news","tag-mundo","tag-patrimonio","tag-proyectos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/universomola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/universomola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/universomola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/universomola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/universomola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64350"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/universomola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64350\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":64352,"href":"https:\/\/universomola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64350\/revisions\/64352"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/universomola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64351"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/universomola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/universomola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/universomola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
