THE MOORLAND - EL DORADO EDITION X WEAVERS OF SOGAMOSO


DRESS THE MOOR

 

The moor is not only inhabited

 

 

In Sogamoso, artist Liliana Limonte has been weaving memory and territory for years. Her work, developed alongside a group of local weavers, turns the loom into a tool to narrate what is often erased from the landscape. In this collaboration with El Dorado Edit , that narrative took another form: tapestries that are not hung, but worn.

 

 

 

Together, we transformed representations of the páramo ecosystem—frailejones, fog, moss, wet stones—into sacks that retain the texture of the loom, but now envelop the body . These are pieces where the visual and the material merge in a gesture that is not only aesthetic but profoundly political.

 

 

 

Liliana's work isn't illustrative. It doesn't seek to replicate the landscape, but rather to convey its energy . Each tapestry is a fragment of territory interpreted collectively: from the choice of tones and materials to the textile techniques used by the weavers. What El Dorado proposed was to prolong that energy, translating it into the design of garments that retained their symbolic power.

 

 

Thus were born these jackets: unique garments that not only shelter the body, but also connect it to a living geography. With each use, with each movement, the moor is activated. The textile becomes a manifesto.
