We see the representation of the beginning of life to make the discovery of places known. Here begins the search for the four cardinal points. Our grandmother from earth appeared to save life from darkness in one of the times where it was a place where only the voices of the gods are heard. There appears the woman who asks the gods for the protection of the messengers who will look for her place and the seeds to sow them, so that after walking for nights they were only guided by leaving their footprints, uniting their wisdom in her a face that told them is reflected that the seeds be thrown away so that the cornfield would be born, with it to look for the other offerings; Like the gourd where they are kept, our ancestors can keep their soul in Ririki.
The pilgrims are chosen by touching their hearts, the song of a Marakame opens those portals to the dream where he speaks when he reaches the desert where the deer that is offered is found. His soul falls on the peyote where it stays the longest. The pilgrims get tired of walking without knowing that they have already visited all the sacred places where they left their footprints and their souls. There the eagle covers the soul of those of the underworld. Above the arrow come the voices of the beginning of the drum ceremony, where all the families gather in gratitude by dancing around the fire.
About us
Marakame
is a brand that proposes a creative way to merge art, design and culture. We believe that we can converge this trilogy of concepts through our project of Diffusion and Commercialization of unique pieces of Art Wixarika (huichol). Our pieces are made by Huichol families from different rural communities that mainly live in the Sierra Madre Occidental of the state of Jalisco.
The central idea of this project is also to disseminate, commercialize and revalue pieces of Huichol art, traditionally considered as "crafts"; it is to show that the realization of a piece and its mythical symbology are intimately intricate with a social and cultural dimension little known to the world.
Our artwork
In
Marakame
we have works that are made using two basic techniques: beading and yarn painting. Which are carried out in an exhaustive period that goes from a week to months of work.
In
Marakame
we specialize in the projection and sale of collectibles and we take care together with the huichol artists of the impeccable manufacture of each piece. The elements of the worldview of these artists are reflected in it, making them unique and unrepeatable artworks, as each artist has a particular way of expressing their feelings, colors, shapes and visions. From the elements that have been shaping for centuries for their spiritual importance, such as the blue deer, corn, the eagle and the "tuutu" (peyote) rose, all descendants of the Sun God "Tau"; to the emerging symbology of contemporary Huichol artists with a conceptual meaning, which has emerged from the Huichol culture and its magical traditions.
