The XXXV Camari\u00f1as Lace Exhibition of the Provincial Council of A Coru\u00f1a has begun, an edition that will be held from today, Wednesday, April 1, to Sunday, April 5 and that, with the motto 'Where thread becomes art', seeks to highlight the municipality as the point where the heart of craftsmanship in Galicia beats most strongly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mayor of Camari\u00f1as, Sandra Insua; the Government delegate, Pedro Blanco; the provincial deputy of the region, M\u00f3nica Rodr\u00edguez; the general director of Commerce of the Xunta de Galicia, Gabriel Al\u00e9n; and the director of the Galician Tourism Agency, Xos\u00e9 Manuel Merelles, were in charge of cutting the lace ribbon that, symbolically, gives the starting signal to the Mostra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sandra Insua began her speech by referring to the fact that a date as significant as the thirty-fifth anniversary of the event \u201copens its doors in a global context that we cannot and should not ignore\u201d. \u201cWe are living in turbulent times, surrounded by international instability that, although it may seem distant, affects us in our lives and in our day-to-day lives. The escalation of tension and the war against Iran fill the news with pain and uncertainty. Therefore, from this humble but proud corner of the Atlantic, today I want to take advantage of this loudspeaker to exclaim a clear, resounding and necessary: NO TO WAR\u201d, she exclaimed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The mayor also wanted to acknowledge the seafarers, who are suffering "a time of immense difficulties for the sector. Our sailors have experienced the anguish of not being able to go out to sea with their boats for long months. And our shellfish gatherers are in a titanic struggle, fighting for our estuary to bear fruit again, while they suffer the injustice of being left out of the announced aid. From here, our recognition and our unconditional support go to each and every one of them. I know for a fact that the fishmonger was, is and will be an essential economic livelihood for these families.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause what our lacemakers do is art, technique and the future. And that future is already bearing great fruit at an industrial level. Today I can announce to you with immense satisfaction that the City Council has been working for a year, hand in hand with our lacemakers, in a great collaboration with a textile multinational known to all. A milestone that shows that Camari\u00f1as lace is absolutely avant-garde and a real economic engine. Soon we will be able to tell you more about this alliance that makes us very happy and that once again places a product as artisanal as lace on the international map\u201d, he announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He also acknowledged that "none of this would be possible without the constant support of the Provincial Council of A Coru\u00f1a, to which we thank for their commitment and trust in our culture year after year.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Government delegate, Pedro Blanco, commented that \u201cthis is an event that improves year after year, consolidating itself as a reference that takes Camari\u00f1as further and further\u201d and made a recognition on behalf of the \u201cGovernment of Spain for everything you are doing here\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For her part, M\u00f3nica Rodr\u00edguez indicated that \u201cthe Camari\u00f1as Lace Show is the cultural event of reference in Galicia every Easter\u201d and recalled that \u201csix years ago we wanted to link the name of the Provincial Council to the event, showing our firm commitment to it\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gabriel Al\u00e9n highlighted that "the artisans who are here, the palilleiras, develop an activity that is culture, tradition, fashion and tourism. You are extraordinary ambassadors of Galicia inside and outside our borders.". <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the relevant visit to the different stalls and stands located in the two municipal pavilions prepared for the occasion, the authorities will witness the inaugural catwalk of the Mostra with the 'Pequencaixe' and 'Grandes Dese\u00f1adores' parades in which the participating firms will show for the first time the collections they have prepared for the Mostra with lace as the protagonist.
