HKUL Photo Exhibition - "Peru's Memory: 1890-1950"

In collaboration with the Consulate General of Peru in Hong Kong and Macao, the Main Library is pleased to present Peru's Memory: 1890 - 1950 photo exhibition at the 2nd Floor Atrium/Exhibition Area of the Main Library from November 13 to 30, 2017.

Thirty-three photographs have been selected from the "Fotografia Memoria del Perú" by photographers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (1890-1950) capturing the history and everyday life in Peru, including the best works of the "Golden Age of Peruvian Photography" ¹.

"Thanks to these images and to many others like those, Peru, as we know it today, began to emerge before itself as an apprehensible reality. The natural wonders of its territory, the great monuments of its pre-Columbian past, the ancestral customs interwoven with the modernizing aspirations, the advance of the capitalist economy, and the social conflicts of a national society in formation.

Peru's Memory: 1890 - 1950 photos allows us to revive some of the construction process and to value the talent of masters of the lens such as Max T. Vargas, Martin Chambi, Carlos and Miguel Vargas, Juan Manuel Figueroa Aznar, Sebastian Rodriguez, Baldomero Alejos, and Walter 0. Runcie, to mention only some of the most conspicuous in this selection."¹

香港大學美術博物館展覽
《生如錦繡：印尼群島的伊卡絣織》 保存消逝中的工藝

展出日期：即日至11月26日（星期日）

從學術角度出發，便可見胡彼得先生的普撒卡收藏，展示了年輕國家印尼於獨立後所持「多元一體」的座右銘。普撒卡收藏呈獻出印尼境內群島的織品，不同風格相互交織的同時，每個地方亦別樹一格，不僅讓人能夠探討群島居民豔麗的衣飾，更讓人了解到於其他大部分收藏中罕見的日常服裝。

大部分傳統的收藏側重華麗的服飾，例如同是在弗洛勒斯島上的「伊利蔓德拉」，深赤色的聘禮用圍裙備受當地人及收藏家的重視與推崇，然而精緻的靛藍色日常用圍裙卻幾乎完全被收藏家所忽略。導致這些精緻的日常用織品隨著歲月而變得殘破，其存世數量相較於那些備受珍視、尊重與積極收藏的聘禮用圍裙稀少。

有關伊卡織品及印尼群島人們對織品的用法等知識，主要來自傳教士的記錄及科學實地考察，當中絕大多數由非印尼人士撰寫。這些記錄涵蓋範圍較為狹窄——許多織造地區只有一、兩處資料，某些地區甚至從未被仔細考察。許多傳統知識，尤其是屬於印尼群島較偏遠島嶼的，正逐漸遺失；故需研究者同心協力以保存他們的文化。
