Mapeo del patrimonio textil en Minas Gerais: medidas para la preservación de un patrimonio invisible

Abstract

Not only in Minas Gerais, but also throughout Brazil, we face some difficulties originated by the little historical importance that is given to the textile heritage. In addition to the small number of specialized professionals, there are few studies about textile collections in the country, leaving these pieces aside from any possibility of preservation actions. This research exposes the situation of devaluation of textiles in Brazil, presenting the proposal of mapping the textile heritage of Minas Gerais as a preservation measure for these objects.
