A closer look at the hands, stories, and traditions behind the art. 💛
Today, we traveled to the rural community of Quiejel to visit the home of Multicolores Artists Lesly and Petronila, where we were welcomed by their families and fellow Artists.
We learned about the community’s rich textile traditions, experienced a traditional backstrap-weaving demonstration, and discovered how generations of Maya textile knowledge are inspiring new forms of artistic expression through rug hooking.
It was a beautiful opportunity to connect with the Artists in their own community and see how tradition continues to evolve, one creation at a time. 🧵✨
