MARIA DE NAZARETH

We are a collective of 60 widows and teenage orphans, of the Ixil ethnic group, located in San Juan Cotzal, in the province of El Quiché. In 1990, we founded María de Nazareth, in hopes of overcoming our social, political and economic plight. Our weavings are made on backstrap looms, with designs that are specific to San Juan Cotzal, and last year we also began to use the floor loom.
