In this article I propose an ethnographic narrative —based on my experience with weavers— about the practices and stories surrounding the textile tradition of the Tsotsiles from San Bartolomé de los Llanos (Chiapas, southeastern Mexico), aiming to explore the idea of textiles as an art centered on the body, linked in the Amerindian world to body construction. Generations of women work daily on this indigenous art. This feminine work marks different moments of the woman’s life cycle, such as puberty (learning how to weave) and marriage (making garments for the groom). Through the textile, produced with loom technology, women connect indigenous everyday world with their sacred world (ch’ul) by weaving on the surface of the textile those beings that inhabit —and with whom they relate and dialogue— the cosmos of this population.
