WEAVING DREAMS FROM THE ANCESTRAL TO THE WORLD
From very young Julia Cañari she lived with fabrics and wool, alpacos and llamos in her house in the Chilean Altiplano (highlands). She comes from a family of weavers, the one that has transmitted her art, from several generations allowing her to perpetuate her ancestral roots.
At the age of 8 she start weaving, thanks to the teachings of her mother and grandmother, and in her moments of grazing, with little sticks of ñakatola (altiplanic medicinal plant) she wove clothes to her wrists like hats, vests and other things.
