This is a one of a great series of documentaries on Guatemalan culture by Guatemalans on Tinaamit Te Ve. If you interested in traditional Guatemalan textiles this is well worth watching. It only has subtitles in Spanish though. Below is the introduction to this video:
"En San Pedro La Laguna, existe un grupo de mujeres cuyo nombre es Ixchel que significa dios del tejido que trabajan sobre la cultura del tejido. Estas mujeres ensenan como se pueden hacer cosas muy bonitas con productos tan simples que cualquier persona lo puede conseguir, como darle color a los productos usando frutas, verduras, etc. Estas mujeres ensenan como fabricar telas tipicas, guipiles, etc." |
