Indigenous Mayan women in Guatemala have passed down the tradition of weaving for over 2,000 years. But when a 36-year-long civil war in the late 20th century threatened Mayan culture, wearing traditional clothing became dangerous. In the 15 years following the war, groups of women have banded together to sustain themselves and their families through weaving. We visited a group in San Juan La Laguna to see how it is fighting to keep the craft alive.#guatemalan #weaving #textiles | Insider

Weaving in Paradise 🙌🌋🧵 @whitemountainfunk is learning how to weave his own corte the traditional mayan way 💜 We learned from mayan women in San Juan the other day and its incredibly tedious just to set up the loom took a whole entire day 🤯 Once I put my Crochet hooks down I'm going to get my weaving project out and start weaving as well!
