The Corazón de Mujeres

of Chimaltenango, Chimaltenango

5 Corazon de Mujers members posing for a photo in traditional dress

The Corazón de Mujeres (Hearts of Women) weaving community is made up of 13 artisans, united by craft and resilience. Founded during Guatemala’s armed conflict, the collective provided a refuge for women who had fled their homes, offering both a sense of community and a means of supporting their families. What makes this group truly unique is its diversity—each member comes from a different community and brings expertise in a distinct weaving technique. By sharing their knowledge with one another, they ensure that work is evenly distributed, preserving tradition while fostering collaboration.
