My work focuses on various aspects of women’s daily lives, particularly the experience of motherhood and the home. Especially since the pandemic, I’ve focused on those of us who provide care and how we constantly confront role stereotypes that dictate we must be “the good mother”—a notion that is socially normalized and, as a result, silenced. In this vein, it has been very important for me to consciously choose to work with weaving, sewing, and embroidery as means of expression, since these crafts are part of the feminine traditions of my maternal family—activities that have often been considered of lesser value and importance, viewed as part of the domestic chores assigned to women. These mediums, therefore, represent for me a way of reconnecting and reclaiming my heritage. All of this experience, combined with my understanding of the role that weaving has played in the lives of the women in my maternal family, has sparked in me a need to investigate the origins of this tradition, turning my gaze toward the homeland of my ancestors (Huacrachuco, Marañón Province, Huánuco Region), seeking to conduct a sort of family archaeology to rediscover the ancestral dimension of weaving among women and to find my true identity as a weaver.
