Funga,
There is no regeneration without mushrooms
Abuela Adriana wearing Huautla de Jimenez’s traditional textile back in the 70’s — the land of Maria Sabina, one of the most renowned healers of all times, mushroom curandera.
This Huipil is inspired by those powerful Mazatec textiles which represent the Heart of the Land (red stripes), the center of Heavens (blue stripes), the deepness of Mountains and the power of plants (embroidered motifs).
Hand-spun organic milpa cotton, hand-weaved and hand-embroidered with threads dyed with Cochineal, Indigo and Pericón flowers in the traditional Punto de Cruz stitch.
Oaxacan-silk textiles dyed with local mushrooms.
“You can’t have any regeneration without the fungi. Nothing can recompose without fungi that are decomposing. Energy is not lost, energy is transformed — and the organism that transforms energy is the Fungi. It is impossible to look at regeneration without decomposition, and decomposition doesn’t exist without the Fungi” — Giuliana Furci
