During Easter, thread becomes art at the XXXV Lace Exhibition of the Provincial Council of A Coruña 

The official inauguration of the event took place today, in which the mayor of Camariñas, the provincial deputy of the region, the delegate and the deputy of the Government, the director of Commerce and Consumption and the director of the Galician Tourism Agency cut the ribbon. In her speech, Sandra Insua, referred to the strength of lace and the palilleiras in unstable contexts for the maritime sector such as the current one, “I know for a fact that palillo was, is and will be an essential economic livelihood for these families”. Insua announced that “the City Council and the palilleiras have been working for a year in a great collaboration with a textile multinational, which shows that lace is absolutely avant-garde”.

Arrinca a XXXV Mostra do Encaixe de Camariñas Deputación da Coruña, unha edición que se celebrará desde hoxe, mércores 1 de abril, ao domingo 5 de abril e que co lema ‘Onde o fío se converte en arte’ busca destacar ao municipio como punto onde late con máis forza o corazón da artesanía en Galicia. 

A alcaldesa de Camariñas, Sandra Insua; o delegado do Goberno, Pedro Blanco; a deputada provincial da comarca, Mónica Rodríguez; o director xeral de Comercio da Xunta de Galicia, Gabriel Alén; e o director da Axencia de Turismo de Galicia, Xosé Manuel Merelles, foron os encargados de cortar a cinta de encaixe que, simbolicamente, dá o pistoletazo de saída á Mostra.

Sandra Insua iniciou o seu discurso facendo referencia a que unha data tan sinalada como o trixésimo quinto aniversario do evento “abre as súas portas nun contexto global que non podemos nin debemos ignorar”. “Vivimos tempos convulsos, rodeados dunha inestabilidade internacional que, aínda que pareza lonxana, aféctanos nas nosas vidas e no noso día a día. A escalada de tensión e a guerra contra Irán enchen os telexornais de dor e incerteza. Por iso, desde este humilde pero orgulloso recuncho do Atlántico, hoxe quero aproveitar este altofalante para exclamar un claro, rotundo e necesario: NON Á GUERRA”, exclamou.

A rexedora tamén quixo facer un recoñecemento á xente do mar, que está a sufrir “unha época de inmensas dificultades para o sector. Os nosos mariñeiros viviron a angustia de non poder saír cos seus barcos á mar durante longos meses. E as nosas mariscadoras atópanse nunha loita titánica, pelexando para que a nosa ría volva dar os seus froitos, mentres sofren a inxustiza de quedar fóra das axudas anunciadas. Desde aquí, vaia para todas e todos eles o noso recoñecemento e o noso apoio incondicional. Sei de boa man que o palillo foi, é e será un sustento económico imprescindible para estas familias”.

“Porque o que fan as nosas palilleiras é arte, técnica e futuro.  E ese futuro xa está dando grandes froitos a nivel industrial. Hoxe podo anunciarvos con inmensa satisfacción que o Concello leva un ano traballando, man a man coas nosas palilleiras, nunha gran colaboración cunha multinacional téxtil coñecida por todas e todos. Un fito que demostra que o encaixe de Camariñas é vangarda absoluta e un motor económico real. Pronto poderemos contar máis desta alianza que nos fai moi felices e que volve a situar a un produto tan artesán como o encaixe no mapa internacional”, anunciou.

Tamén recoñeceu que “nada disto sería posible sen o apoio constante da Deputación da Coruña, á que agradecemos o seu compromiso e confianza na nosa cultura ano tras ano”.

O delegado do Goberno, Pedro Blanco, comentou que “esta é unha cita que mellora ano a ano, consolidándose como un referente que leva a Camariñas cada vez máis lonxe” e fixo un recoñecemento de parte do “Goberno de España por todo canto estades a desenvolver aquí”.

Gabriel Alén destacou que “os e as artesáns que estades aquí, as palilleiras, desenvolvedes unha actividade que é cultura, tradición, moda e turismo. Sodes unhas extraordinarias embaixadoras de Galicia dentro e fóra das nosas fronteiras”.
