Today we celebrate La Guelaguetza, also known as lunes del cerro (Monday on the hill) in Oaxaca, México.

The word Guelaguetza means “sharing”, “offering” or “giving” in Zapotec. This festivity is the most important pre-Hispanic celebration in México. It gathers the seven regions of Oaxaca and centers in traditional dancing in custom, each dance and artisan custom has cultural and historic meaning.

For the Indigenous groups is more than dances and celebration, it represents the importance of building relationships to strengthen cooperation between communities.

Each Mexican Masterpiece is Unique

by ⋅ 2 Comments

Slowly and carefully crafted by hand, these unique textiles are woven with Pre-Columbian methods that have been passed from mother-to-daughter, father-to-son throughout Oaxaca, Chiapas and Puebla, Mexico. Every piece is unique. While many villages produced products that are similar, every one bears the human touch that makes it one-of-a-kind.
