In Saq b’eey, or Camino, historical memory associated with an everyday domestic object – the belt – is reconfigured. By interweaving artisanal craft with the colors and forms of his ancestral territory, Pichillá challenges the colonial civilizatory process historically imposed on his people, affirming an ancestral knowledge that was interrupted within Mayan culture.
