Love this. Such a wonderfully comprehensive article. Thanks for sharing this deep-dive and artisan interviews with us.
Thanks Catherine! Huichol art is a fascinating cultural expression and it is a pleasure and a privilege to transmit it!
Gracias Meg! I am just now (after 50 years of living) exploring my ethnic and genetic ancestry. My family and relatives are from Guadalajara. I was born and raised in the US. I always had a strong attraction to Wixarika/Huichol art. It was really nice to learn about the people who create these beautiful pieces, too.
