TTJaja is a collective of women weavers who, for six years, have built a creative community that meets weekly. From the beginning, they have challenged traditional norms, exploring firsthand how play is intrinsically tied to community. Their works, fun, large, and extravagant, are born from collective imagination and brought to life by their hands. Most of their creations are inspired by Mexico’s culture and traditions.
For this breakout, they have drawn inspiration from one of WDCD’s central themes: the environment and climate change. Their project, “Weaving Ecosystems,” is a map made up of thousands of woven pixels that represents the diversity of ecosystems and the rich biodiversity coexisting in our urban jungle.
In addition to weaving the pixels, breakout participants will be able to contribute to the creation of this large map through the classic “paint by number” activity.
