Multicolores believes in the transformative power of artistry
Creative and economic development is the foundation of Multicolores. Our association is made up of groups of Maya women artists who practice two different contemporary textile art techniques: embroidery and rug-hooking. To support artists, Multicolores offers ongoing creative education opportunities, fair and immediate pay, and access to top-quality international markets.
Artistic Development
Every embroidered piece created by Multicolores’ artists is a unique expression of the artist’s style and creative decisions. In every work of art, embroidery artists apply different skills.
Economic Security
Multicolores provides opportunities for Maya women artists to develop their creative voice while earning fair, consistent income.
Well Being
This program offers holistic and sustainable healthcare services to the artists and their loved ones in the areas of family and preventive medicine, and women’s health. A co-creation between the artists, Multicolores and ASSADE- it aims to design and construct the ideal health model for all participants. Taking into account biological, cultural and psychosocial aspects, the program uses ancestral Maya healing techniques and Western medicine with the goal of achieving better results in health and encouraging skills development for social, economical and environmental changes in the communities.
