Modern Maya Weavers of Guatemala

More than a dozen master weavers are shown weaving on their back-strap looms in their homes around highland Guatemala. The hands of the weavers expertly craft the unique styles of San Antonio Aguas Calientes, Patzún, San Antonio Palopó, Santa Catarina Palopó, Santiago Atitlán, San Lucas Tolimán, Chichicastenango, Nebaj, San Juan Cotzal, Todos Santos Cuchumatanes, Tactíc, and Samac near Cobán. The video was originally produced for a textile exhibition at the San Jose Museum.
