Creating

Backstrap Weaving

 
 

The Santa Catarina group is made up of Silvia, Julieta, Rebeca, and María Ananí from Pantelhó, Chiapas. Their backstrap weaving practice comes from a deeply rooted family tradition. Silvia learned the craft from her mother Polonia, and has now passed it on to her daughters, turning weaving into an intergenerational practice, a form of expression, and a way to stay connected to their heritage.

Our collaboration with Santa Catarina is facilitated by Proud Mary’s long term partner, Kiptik. Kiptik works alongside Santa Catarina to strengthen their organization, promote fair trade of their textiles, and expanded their access to learning opportunities.
