Film Screening and Zoom Discussion/Q&A

Tlakimilolli: Voces del Telar (Voices of the Loom), director Clementina Campos.

This documentary is a portrait of the indigenous women weavers of Sierra de Zongolica in Veracruz, Mexico, showing us their creativity and mastery of technique. Tracing all phases of the weaving process, from shearing the sheep, through washing, carding, spinning, dying, preparing the back strap loom, and finally, weaving, the film celebrates the women who have sustained their craft for generations, yet came close to losing. This documentary brings to light the fragility of traditional arts and the importance of bolstering traditional knowledge systems so the knowledge continues to be passed from one generation to the next.

A film project that set out not only to tell a story, but to empower the women who are central to it. In Nahuatl with Spanish and English subtitles. (Difusión Cultural UAM, 2017, 30 min.).
Presented in partnership with the Consulate General of México in Denver.
