About our Artist: 'The Kanxoc Foundation encourages artisans of Yucatan's Maya community in Kanxoc through a self-sustaining project for the design and development of artisan handicrafts preserving traditional uses, customs and techniques. We came to the Kanxoc community in 2010 and became acquainted with the people, their traditions and their way of looking at the world. The Kanxoc people are warriors - they are known and defined by their identity. Their land and traditions are sacred while their stories tell how they refused to be conquered by the Spaniards and managed to preserve their culture. Embroidery is a typical activity in Yucatan, passed down from parents to children. Today, this traditional embroidery brings beauty to trendy handbags and accessories. Our art bears fruit and creates friendships. Kanxoc Foundation artisans now earn a steady income and don't have to leave their children alone or pay for transportation to sell their crafts. They know how much their crafts are worth.'...
