Weavers of the End of the World
Book Producer
Oct 2019 – Jun 2020
Patagonia. 12 women weavers, 12 stories. Here it is the weaver herself who tells her story. Each in her own style but all charged with strength, frankness and wisdom. Through memories and stories, they share part of their lives with us and bring us closer to a world where learning is not necessarily achieved in schools or in a classroom, but rather by taking care of the animals, surviving the cold, raising children, and farming.
