Factory Nights Peru is a collaborative project with LAMAS SIN FRONTERAS (LAMAS WITHOUT BORDERS) and in partnership with Lamas Council and Sachaqa Arts Centre
The first Factory Night in Peru was part of the Lamas Without Borders Festival in partnership with Lamas Council and Sachaqa Arts Centre. This Factory Night focused on the rich history of Lamas and took inspiration from the day’s activities and demonstrations from highly skilled local artisans. The concept of providing an opportunity for traditional and contemporary artists to come together in this region of San Martin had never been done before and was strongly supported by the Council and Sachaqa Arts Centre. The partner organisations are now taking this forward and will deliver an annual event taking inspiration from this to bring artists together to be creative and share ideas.This Factory Night took place during a research residency focusing on the crossover of art skills, crafts, cultural traditions and heritage across countries with a focus on sustainability within the arts..
