Our exhibition delves into the rich history and intricate craftsmanship behind the renowned Jolom Mayaetik textiles.

Our curated collection showcases a diverse range of Jolom Mayaetik textiles, including huipiles (traditional blouses), cortes (skirts), and other garments adorned with exquisite embroidery and weaving techniques. These textiles not only display remarkable craftsmanship but also serve as a medium of empowerment for the women who create them, enabling them to preserve their cultural heritage and support their families.
