TEXTILES
Backstrap loom weaving is one of the most powerful ancestral techniques and artistic expression of the Mayan people in the contemporary world. Textile art is still alive thanks to the tenacity and dedication of generations of weavers who, for more than 2000 years, have passed on their knowledge to daughters and granddaughters. Today, textile art expresses its richness in a large number of towns, each community with its own traditional technique of embroidery, brocade, etc.
