About

Second day of a two-day Amuzgo backstrap-loom workshop led by master artisan Gabina Valentín López of Xochistlahuaca, Guerrero, recipient of Mexico's 2024 Galardón Nacional de Textil. Sessions run 10:00–13:00 and 14:00–17:00; over the two days and 12 hours, participants prepare the warp, assemble a loom and learn traditional weaving with undyed cotton and threads dyed with Mexican plants. The workshop explores how gestures, patterns and symbols carry a community's stories and memory. No prior experience is needed. The €250 fee covers both days and includes a loom for each participant, which they take home at the end. Places are limited; registration is available. Organised in collaboration with Fundação Tuyo.
