HUIPIL / SHIRTS / SKIRTS / REBOZOS

In a remote village in the state of Guerrero (Mexico), there is an indigenous group named Amuzgo or Amochco, known for their textile heritage. Weaving in this region has been kept alive by oral transmission from generation to generation and its practice has been crucial in the social, spiritual and economic life of the women of this community. Weaving a piece can take weeks, months or even a year to complete, making each piece a unique story of its creator. Amuzgo fabrics are complex representations in geometric motifs of the fauna, flora, ethnicity, beliefs and personal narratives of their ancestors. This valuable work ensures cultural continuity, rituals and strengthens community ties among its members.
