realizing ancestral knowledge and above all highlights art as historic expression by First Peoples.\u00a0 Needlework and backstrap weaving allow women to heal through occupational practices.\u00a0 Additionally, they analyze, grow, and more than anything, develop self-empowerment.\u00a0 It helps to create supportive networking, with analysis, with general support, and sisterhood to create

Marta Julia adds.<\/p>\n<p>In just three months female students from Group One from the Weaving School of Santa Luc\u00eda Utatl\u00e1n learned to make the <em>faja,<\/em> a simple sash\/belt (worn by those who dress traditionally), a napkin and a <em>huipil <\/em>\u00a0specific to their municipality.\u00a0 During the process they received training to learn about important themes relating to violence against women and steps toward healing.\u00a0 While they were weaving and embroidering they were also learning about their rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abIt is a difficult and exhausting process, but

Artean<\/em> or EA-LA, proponent of the project Education for Social Transformation in Euska Herria (home of the Basque people) is the group behind this effort.\u00a0 Among these activities we are highlighting the <em>Jornadas EmpoderArte <\/em>or Conferences for Empowerment Through Art.\u00a0 Guatemalan and Basque women from differing artistic disciplines have come together at these gatherings to talk about their life experiences and what it means to be a woman artist.\u00a0 Along with this effort EA-LA also encourages recovery of Guatemalan legend which has added a new focus, a feminine focus for Cristina Chiqu\u00edn, Sara Curruchich, Isabel Hern\u00e1ndez, and Rebeca Lane, four Guatemalan women.<\/p>\n<p>The four are experts in the oral traditions of their country and Mayan spirituality.\u00a0 This expertise is passed on to Guatemala via women&#8217;s voices &#8212; through their voices and diverse artistic expressions.\u00a0 Narrations of these legends are adapted for adults, \u00a0showing actual real life circumstances.\u00a0 The narratives reflect situations and life experiences which often are surprisingly similar to real life.\u00a0 They show the inequality and current social injustices where the protagonists are principal players and able to make change.\u00a0 In this way <em>Entreamigos-Lagun Artean<\/em> promotes recognition in Guatemala of these stories and that these women transform them by incorporating a feminist perspective through struggle and reclamation of their heritage.\u00a0 With each story or history, reality is seen through a feminine lens.\u00a0 There&#8217;s a break from traditional roles imposed on women and men.\u00a0 The initiative shows that history can come full circle and can be told by women&#8217;s voices.<\/p>\n<p><a
