The Wixarika, or Huichol as they are more widely known, are native Mexicans who live mainly in the Sierra Madre mountains of Nayarit, Jalisco, Zacatecas and Durango. They are one of the few ethnic groups that has managed to remain "pure" since the time of the Spanish conquest. They make hand-beaded sculptures decorated with many different symbols, and in every colour imaginable. Furthermore, they leave hidden messages in their art, and the figures are the inspiration of journeys that the Wixarikas make to the spiritual world during shamanic rituals. 

ArtMexico has been working with the Wixarika community for years, and proudly shares their amazing creations with the rest of the world. The families we work with get to maintain their traditions and preserve their culture, handing down the secrets of this incredible folk art from generation to generation.
