Santa Ana del Valle is a small Zapotec community in the Tlacolula Valley, known for its rich tradition of hand-woven wool rugs made on pedal-operated looms. While weaving is central to the town’s identity, many En Vía participants also run other businesses such as convenience stores, bakeries, chicken farms, and more. The community is now exploring natural dye techniques to reduce chemical use, while preserving and experimenting with traditional designs. Meet 6 of the 12 women working with En Via in this community.
