Initiated by Dita Zakova, Founder and Director, Ecolibri.org and Rhea Alexander, Founder and President, DIGS.com, the project consisted of inviting seven international architects to create an image, texture, or painting to be rendered into woven textiles by artisans of Ecolibri (www.ecolibri.org) at Lake Atitlan, Guatemala using a back-strap loom and sustainable materials, such as naturally dyed threads and reclaimed /recycled materials like unraveled old sweaters. The project aimed to build awareness of the skills and abilities of Guatemalan women artisans.
