black and white secrets of quechua weaving
Since Quechua was originally an oral language, weaving was the means by which people communicated their thoughts and feelings about the natural world, how stories were told, and histories recorded. Deep appreciation to Sinforosa, Simiona, and Grigoria for letting us in on the secrets, if only for a moment.
