What is Warisata? Warisata is an arts organization that was co-founded in the early 1960s by artists Gustavo Penna, Roberto Saenz, Rodrigo Franco, Lorenzo Mandigoza and Leonidas Contreras. Warisata’s name derives from Quechua words “warisa” meaning brave or heroic and “ta” meaning coming together. The word carries with it a sense of solidarity, respect for all peoples and the communities in which they live. Warisata is also about pushing boundaries, experimenting with new techniques that are unknown to art making today while being inspired by the past. This organization’s main goal is to provide a venue for new artistic expression, as well as fostering new talents and researching the art of pre-Hispanic cultures. Warisata artists and members grow and continue pushing boundaries through new art mediums and ideas. They breakout of the traditional canvas into various media forms such as: tapestries, ceramics, weaving, paper cutting, printmaking and wood carving. Warisata has an open door policy for artists from all over the world who wish to learn more about what they do there. Artists who attend workshops at Warisata or intern with them gain an understanding of how to approach art making in a more open-minded way. Warisata is also an important venue for research and exhibiting important pieces of art regarding pre-hispanic cultures. With the help of the Fundación Juan March, Warisata has been able to continue conducting research about this subject in Peru and Bolivia; it also provides young artists with the opportunity to showcase their work there. Warisata has continually worked to educate and inform patrons and visitors about pre-hispanic cultures and modern indigenous struggles for self-determination and social justice in the world today through exhibitions, publications, workshops and conferences. Warisata has grown into an international institution. It has become a place where ideas are shared, where people teach and learn, exchange dialogues that may lead to the resolution of social conflicts. It is a place for artists to create new ways of looking at the world by focusing on today’s problems, while also preserving the history of yesterday’s solutions. The Warisata Cultural Center opened its doors in 1971 with the objective of creating new ways to express art through modern techniques while upholding respect for pre-Hispanic cultures. Workshops are held there on various artistic media including ceramics, sculpture, papercutting and ethnographic studies of indigenous communities in Bolivia and Peru. When it opened, the center occupied an area of 1,500 square meters with two galleries that could be configured according to needs. Among these was a print workshop where the members of the Warisata group worked. The entrance to the building featured a skylight, which allowed natural light to come in. A small bar-canteen provided food and drink for visitors and students. The first director of Warisata was Gustavo Penna. The administrative work was handled by Margarita Garcia Pizarro who had previously worked at the Museo de América in Madrid (1959–60). cfa1e77820
