Taught by Julia Yude (Jalisco del Refugio, Jalisco) and Itzel León (CDMX)
The Wixárika people live in the Sierra Madre Occidental, their ancestral land. It is a wide geographical space that is located in the states of Jalisco, Nayarit and Durango. Wixárika means "person with a deep heart who loves knowledge" and, according to their beliefs, we all share the same world, where everything and everyone is strongly connected through links that unite us all.
Traditionally, they use materials such as wax, beads, woold and cotton to capture their way of seeing the world and their environment throught theire creations.
During this workshop, participants will learn how to apply beads on a piece of clay with Wixárika's traditional technique. They will also discover the symbolism and meaning of the Wixárika people, understanding how each of the figures is being built and thus discovering the manual and visual ability of each participant.
