Bea Iglesias, creator of Oficios Vivos: “Traditional crafts and all the stories that surround them are heritage
Oficios Vivos Bea Iglesias, creator of Oficios Vivos Very recently I had the pleasure of chatting with Bea Iglesias, creator of the Oficios Vivos project . As he explains on his website, “Oficios Vivos means for me the reconnection with my origins and with the roots of knowledge, of popular knowledge, of art that is not written in books, nor exhibited in museums, but rather “It lives in the hands and eyes of an entire generation of rural teachers.” This project means connecting again with the beginnings, with all those trades that are still alive and that deserve to continue being so. It is to avoid forgetting the work of wool, cattail, esparto grass, ceramics, marquetry and even instruments that perhaps you have never heard of before. It is also remembering stories, teachers, anecdotes and discovering charming towns.
For my part, I could have been talking for hours and hours with Bea, since in addition to being a beautiful person, I firmly believe that her project is very necessary to give a voice to all the artisans and craftsmen who remain in our country. Bea Iglesias, creator of Oficios Vivos Bea Iglesias, creator of Oficios Vivos How did Oficios Cell Phone Number List Vivos come about? I am an engineer by training and over the years I have had the opportunity to work and collaborate on various projects and associations. For example, relatively recently I was working at the Andalusian Seed Network, closely related to traditional crops and varieties, which is why I have always liked and greatly enjoyed everything related to the rural world. Although the concern to continue exploring that path and end up creating Living Crafts may also come from my childhood, since I grew up in a small town in Galicia, in the province of Ourense.
I have always really enjoyed spending time with my grandparents, asking everything I could and more about animals and livestock. I have always had the connection with rural areas, but perhaps it was this mix and working when I was older in organic farming projects where it was closer at hand and we knew people in the countryside. Seeing that they not only dedicated themselves to agriculture or livestock, but also mastered other techniques such as preserving food, making cheese, pruning or that high level of self-sufficiency, was very inspiring to me. That sufficiency made me want to know more about the crafts, the daily chores, the music... Seeing that they were also very excited to tell and share it inspired and motivated me a lot.
