Today, on Indigenous People's Day, we remember the injustices done towards the first settlers of this land and reassert our commitment to facilitating their empowerment. A small step in that directly has been our work with the artisan collectives led by Mayan women in Guatemala. As much as we have played the conventional role of change makers, it is us who have gained from their resilience, industriousness, wisdom and a profound understanding of life.

130 Mayan women weavers of @elcaminodelosaltos preserve and transmit the ancient art of backstrap loom weaving. The project's purpose-driven vision is an inspirational blueprint for how one can go beyond “making” to weave concrete and durable changes into the social fabric.

Rethinking Ego to Reflect Collectively —“In Mexico, there's a lot of debate about who the creation belongs to, especially in regards to designs that come from traditional communities versus those produced by brands. Doing it this way prevents complexity and the grey areas of such debate because designs, when you consider all its components, do not really belong to one person—there's the work of the colorist, the work of the weaver, etc. In the simplest sense, it is the sum of many parts. You cannot pretend that it was solely you who found this color for example. It's about being clear and defending this reality." – Veronique Tesseraud @elcaminodelosaltos
