An Andean handwoven fabric is not just aesthetics
The Andean handwoven textiles are expressions coming out to disclose sacred ancestral information and symbols. Each element and geometrical pattern woven in a handwoven piece becomes part of the textile cosmos, a heritage universe filled with the Andes culture.
For Andean weavers, weaving textiles is not just weaving, it’s like using a communication channel for connecting the past with the present, which allows them to have a conversation with their Ancestors, as well as the Origin.
Then, beyond only appreciating the aesthetics of any textile using just our eyes, whenever we are in front of or have in our hands an Andean handwoven fabric, let’s look at it with our heart to allow our soul to bind with the spirit of the textile, its set of symbols, and mainly the messages it has to share with us.
