Artisan - María Julia Gomez Hernández
Zinacantan, Mexico
When I was a child, one of my games was to play weaving on the backstrap loom, but as I grew up, the game became our job. I began to sell my pieces made on the backstrap loom; before the pandemic, tourists always came to my community. That ended with the pandemic, therefore, the income, so my only option was to work with designers who give you the material and pay for your craft, but sometimes it is very poorly paid.
