Ricardina Huaman Folopa reflects on her first experience weaving in nearly three decades, grappling with both physical pain and fears of forgetting the craft she once loved. "Can you believe it? It's the first time I have woven in 27 years...That is what worries me. What if I've forgotten everything?" Her words capture the profound connection between her craft and cultural identity, as she navigates this emotional and physical journey back to weaving.
Eutropia Quilla Huaman poignantly highlights the disconnection faced by survivors of forced sterilisation from their cultural traditions. "Our tradition is disappearing. It's not just that the women stop weaving, they also forget the techniques, and that's the worst." Her sentiment underscores the broader implications of cultural loss and the importance of reclaiming skills and knowledge connected to their heritage.
