We will be highlighting the people and groups who will be a part of this year's Textile Bazaar.
Here are Jolom Mayaetik, Jasmin Zorlu, Object:Found, and The Didi Jewelry Project
Jolom Mayaetik is a Maya weavers’ cooperative that formed in 1996 in the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico. The cooperative's goal was to achieve fair trade pricing and to market their work more effectively than the state cooperative had been doing. In addition to continuing the long tradition passed from mother to daughter over countless generations, marked by the huipil distinctive to their own community, they have adapted their ancient weaving technique and designs to create contemporary products for sale.
​
"As I’ve observed during 25 years as a volunteer with the cooperative, the rural indigenous communities in Chiapas, Mexico, are being pulled into a cash economy, and the weavers’ earnings from the beautiful textiles they weave are essential to their families’ well being."
